Comment 2 for bug 2003877

That's why the statement contains the phrase "as applicable". If you have a unit that is "WantedBy=multi-user.target" then by definition, you don't want it running after cloud-init.target, so this advice isn't applicable to your use case. The advice is provided to inform a user how to order something after cloud-init has run, not how avoid all cyclic dependencies. Based on this, I'm going to set this to "Invalid", but if there's a deeper issue here that I'm not understanding, please do comment and set the status back to "New".
