There are security updates on wheezy-backports, but I assume that you mean
that: if 1) we do not add wheezy-backports to /etc/apt/sources.list and 2) if
there is a security update, then it will be less straightforward for our users
to benefit from it.

One solution would be to add wheezy-backports to /etc/apt/sources.list.  By
default, it will never cause the installation of backports on the system unless
the administrator specifically requests it.  Because wheezy-backports are
configured with "ButAutomaticUpgrades: yes", security updates for the
backported cloud-init will come the same way as security updates for packages
in Wheezy.  Apart from the goal of being as similar as possible as systems
installed with Debian-Installer with default choices, I do not see
disadvantages for doing so.

If the cloud-init backport works well, another solution would be to add
cloud-init to Wheezy in the next point release.  (In know that it is not on
this list that it has to be formally proposed, but I think that this request
would only have a chance to pass if it is largely consensual here, so let's
discuss it here first).
