Much of the cover letter would be nice to have as a commit message here.
Missing your Signed-off-by.

Nit: why is "OpenFile" capitalized like this? I'd rather put the bug
number in the comment, because the "what" is rather obvious while the
"why" is less so.

Some short mention that this is the default hard limit would be nice.
We don't usually write an absolute path to the binary with run_command.

Please use log_warn() so it will be visible as a task warning too.

I thought: can't we instead do this as part of setting up the systemd
scope/qemu.slice with LimitNOFILE?
But that would also affect the swtpm process spawned there :/ and the
systemd.exec man page says:

So not sure if that's really nicer. This suggests QEMU should raise the
limit itself.
