Does RunsOn have particular docs laying out this value (and any other requirements) for building AMIs? If so, would be good to link to it somewhere.

I created this from first principles (and got the value from the base AMIs we've been using in the manual build), but it turns out RunsOn do have some docs for using Packer to build compatible AMIs, so I've added a link.

You may want to use the HCL heredoc syntax here. See https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/docs/templates/hcl_templates/expressions#string-literals.
Specifically, the "indented heredoc" which behaves like textwrap.dedent: <<~EOF
| "sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:deadsnakes/ppa", | ||
| "sudo apt-get update", | ||
| "sudo apt-get install -y \\", | ||
| "python3.7 python3.7-dev python3.7-venv \\", |

Indented heredoc syntax might also be useful here as well.
