Yes, exactly. I wonder how the network-config file is applied in your current workflow.

Yes, guest customization can be turned off if VM's open-vm-tools version is 11.1.0 or above, see KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78903.
I just checked open-vm-tools version in https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova, it's 11.0.5. So you have to upgrade to 11.1.0+ to disable guest-customization.
