CS is using linked in clones so you just cannot simply replace the template the VM is based on because the VMs ROOT volume depends on it. To “re-image” basically you’d need to destroy the VM with its disks then re-deploy it with the new template but because it is a new VM new IP will be allocated for it. If you want the new VM with a specific (previous) IP address you’ll need to manually edit the database.

For me the internal IPs do not matter as the public IP belongs to the account and the virtual router will sort out the rest. Via the GUI you cannot preserve IPs but manually via the database you can change what IP belongs to what VM. My recovery procedure is to deploy a brand new VM, re-attach the data volume to it and update the firewall/static-nat rules if any to the new VM.

You can change the template of your VM by manually editing the database and then shut it down and restart it. This way at the next start CS will re-deploy the new template for the VM and start it. Please be aware this is not recommended in production due to this method will confuse the storage clean-up scripts and will kill your live VM in case the old template it was based on no longer required. It is always recommended to create a new VM instance with the new template.
