You can use an already created qcow2 image, instead of always generating new packer images. See *run-playbook-only.json*

If it was generated by packer and the manifest was created, you can simply extract the image path from that:
- packer build -var-file=base.json -only=qemu -var='image_path='"$(jq -r '.builds[0].files[0].name' < manifest.json)"'' test.json
+ # Be in same directory as where you built the image with packer
