Wouldn't the cloud-init information I configured in the initial run properties page of
the virtual machine be unnecessary?

Do you mean that you can use cloud-init for the first normal startup of a virtual machine
that has not yet been booted, and then you can't use cloud-init for subsequent normal
startup?
Yes. This is for safety from overriding a configuration on future boots.
Is it possible to use cloud-init with the run-once boot option as
long as the virtual machine has already been started?
Yes, if you set it in run-once
the payload will be included to the VM on boot, regardless if it booted already or not.

Hi,
The relevant information comes as a payload to the VM, a CD-ROM containing the data
source.

Cloud-init detects the data source and configures the OS.
Please note that once the VM booted, the only way to provide the cloud-init payload is by
using Run-Once.
For a VM that didn't boot, a regular run will work as well.
