Why do we need this check here, but not for the same in the fatimage workflow below?

So this will be for all clouds. Is that OK? If not, I would set it in e.g. environments/.stackhpc/LEAFCLOUD.pkrvars.hcl instead.

Disk image build works for SMS, so probably okay to set for all clouds

If we're doing this, can you modify docs/image-build.md b/c it currently says vol backed is default. Or, you could just set it to false in CI.

Replaced by #650 |
Leafcloud image builds are volume-backed by default, which causes slow build times
Building images on disk should be quicker for the fatimage build, though volumes are still required for extra-builds
