CLI or preseed install available?
have a look around my github i have a bunch of ansible/kickstart scripts there for almalinux. you can insert a kickstart into an iso (not great fun!) to do the basic setup and then pull down an ansible playbook to do the rest. but you're not going to be able to do much the same way arch does.

Automate creation of KVM VM and Installation of OS
i have a bunch of virt-install scripts, they configure the vm settings and then either run a kickstart/autoyast/preseed to install the OS, or import an image. similar to what virt-builder does.

Pro Tip: you can automate Debian installs using a preseed file
Since creating a custom ISO is slightly involved but extremely useful for me, I wrote a small utility which helps to create a preseeded custom ISO which you can check out here, maybe some of you will find it useful!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing virt-installs and udib you can also consider the following projects:
vfio - A script for easy pci and usb passthrough along with disks, iso's and other useful flags for quick tinkering with less of a headache. I use it for VM gaming and other PCI/LiveCD/PXE/VM/RawImage testing given the script's accessibility.
ansible-role-proxmox_autoinstall - An Ansible role for generating a custom Debian ISO for (semi-)automated provisioning of a ProxMox PVE environment.
