well, the toplevel "network-config" file on the SD card should have
served the same purpose (it gets copied by cloud-init into /etc/netplan
on first boot and then netplan generate and netplan apply are called) 

... cloud-init takes a while to run though (5min or so) on the first
boot (mainly because it also does things like generating ssh keys and
creating the user), before any network changes might show up. so
patience is also important here ... 

i personally found it rock solid for WLAN/DHCP as well as statc/non-
static wired network setups yet ... the people that i supported with
problems always turned out to have one space too less or a tab instead
of spaces in their file, or they were simply too impatient to let
cloud-init finish all its tasks (note that it still runs for quite a
while even if the login prompt already shows up)

don't blame the messenger ;) 

i did not invent YAML (or pick it as the default format for configs) :)
