Playing catch up on this big thread today. Trying selectively respond given how much there is here to dig through.
Regarding this particular issue below (handling VM sizing requests) I also vote for the provider kicking back an error for unsupported sizes rather than ‘rounding’. It will be easy enough for folks to have templates for different providers or to provide some kind of optional templating within the spec that providers can surface in a machine consumable way.

If the provider has templates these should be advertised but ultimately it's up to the implementor to decide whether to reject a request for an unsupported configuration with an error or whether to satisfy it anyway with a larger device.
