We can probably do a little refactoring to use the libguestfs
appliance image soon, which will make things simpler...
You say 'soon' -- is it not possible to do, yet ?

...and libguestfs can boot in a couple of seconds.
I looked at the contents of the
.img files with libguestfs-1.8.6-1. I am

bootable image?
