I would think you could overcome this to some extant with cloud-init on linux.
But... Would require user to add a data disk when creating instance. Limited to the 1 disk in the add instance wizard. Possible errors if no data disk added by user. Requires custom cloud-init configuration baked into the template. Assumes device names are consistent (pretty sure this is true for specific Linux distros, but may not hold for all Linux distros). Assumes cloud-init can be configured to do this with the version present on your distro. So not optimal or as easy as a data disk being part of a template, but might work for your use case.
