I tried to paste the content of https://github.com/retspen/webvirtcloud/blob/master/conf/test-vm.xml to the XML page when creating a new VM. it failed again.

While it passes virt-xml-validate

[admin@linux ~]$ virt-xml-validate test-kvm-vm.xml 
test-kvm-vm.xml validates

Issue solved when removing libvirt-python==7.2.0 from https://github.com/retspen/webvirtcloud/blob/master/conf/requirements.txt as Archlinux already uses 7.3.0 now.

It's caused by mismatching version of libvirt-python on the system and the bundled libvirt-python.
