Personally I have:

systemd.services.systemd-udev-settle.serviceConfig.ExecStart = ["" "${pkgs.coreutils}/bin/true"];

in my configuration because systemd-udev-settle timeouts on my machine sometimes.
That's why I would be glad if we could get rid of that service sometimes.

I agree this is not ideal but the best we can do in stage 2 to prevent the race condition. We can revert this as soon as we do the renaming in stage 1.

Instead of using systemd-udev-settle, we could add
serviceConfig.ExecStartPre="${systemd.package}/bin/udevadm settle -t 10";
directly to systemd-networkd to use a shorter timeout than the default 120s. I guess 10s will be enough to get interface renaming done... ( on a real system, but on hydra you never know).

};
