if you really _need_ sys-usb (== only keyboard is USB), i would
recommend disabling sys-usb autostart anyways.
then replacing the template can be done on next reboot before
starting sys-usb.
or do that scripted shutdown/prefs/start dance.
but that can be a bit tricky for various reasons.
and i would recommend to try it with autostart disabled anyways,
just in case.

just two qubesctl calls. (plus one qvm-prefs to disable autostart)

yes, your usb will be directly attached to dom0 currently.
and that is not a recommended configuration.
otoh, it means you dont have to worry about replacing the template. ;)
some hints regarding the whole scripted replacement plan though...

10sec is _very_ optimistic for a full sys-usb boot and settling
the USB situation. i would recommend something like 120sec.
