I've tried this out with a friend and you can do this. Only the person whose turn it is can save the cloud game to then make an MP game out of it (and might also have to be the host because I'm pretty sure he could do it on his turn but I couldn't)

guidelines before we start it
Also, yes the AI is weird and stuff but I like games to be a bit accessible and reproducible, so like Elbirn said I'll provide saves but usually I don't like/can't justify playing with content mods because A: ya boi wants the Steam achievements, and B: I just feel like I still haven't experienced everything Vanilla has to offer, ya know? I feel the same way about Skyrim mods, damn that game is STILL so fun

The Maori hidden OP is their replacement for the Amphitheater, the Marae, which gives +2 Culture / +2 Faith to every tile in the city with a "passable feature" or NW, which ends up translating to "+2 C/F to every tile with Woods, Rainforest, Marsh, Reef or a NW" and it's not a lot but holy crap does it add up - and I'm not even going Religion.
I get +1 Food to the Fishing Boats from being Maori, and ALL SHALLOW WATER is +1 Production from the new, amazing Auckland CS suzerain ability.
Hey uh, you may want to get Liang as Governor there and get the "Reinforced Materials" promotion. Those tiles will never get pillaged by the Volcanoes again. (Definitely worth checking out Governors and the GPlaza buildings, because I'm seeing some changes since R&F, I think.
idk I still don't build a GPlaza every game, but they're so good.

Also, I think it’s my turn and I’m about to be online to do it. Is anybody else around? We could do some online play… Or start a second match, I don’t mind!

When you're plinking around with swordsman and just reached xbowman she comes knocking on your door with musket and cavalries.
She is one of the only civs with bonuses explicitly for science output, and is pretty over powered as a result. A competent Korea player wins science/domination victory pretty easily, and even if you can keep pace with her somehow she'll be one of the few AI capable of really competing with you.

I'm at work
But yeah if we're ever all online we can load the cloud game into an online, get these slow early turns done.
Or just start separate online games with whoever's around

I wanna point out the following
1. You've actually understated the ability, Because it also applies to oasis and geothermal fissures. It applying to reefs, when you're playing a coastal oriented civ, is also kinda bonkers. That ability + reef + fish + maori plus one food for boats + throw in God of the sea for good measure = 4 food/2 production/2 gold(?)/2 culture/2 faith from a single tile. Auckland makes that 3 production; and the yields all go higher with more technologies. Competes with the Dutch polders, even.
2. I started a game as Sweden that was going well until Kupe, wielding all of these powers and with earth goddess adding another +1 faith to all of these tiles and then city spamming forward settling me while taking over every city state and killing my religion with his = ragequit

I feel like all of the new civs are really strong, except for Canada who I still can not for the life of me understand what their strength is.
"You start in the frozen wasteland! But because you're Canada you can build farms on tundra, thus making those tiles just as good as unimproved plains tiles! also theres hockey rinks. Byeeeee~☆"
..... *sighs*
But yeah Maori/Mali are broken to the point I'd suggest exterminating them as soon as you meet. Inca is good but idk how to play them. I feel like Sweden is secretly good if you care about Diplo victory and focus on great people but mostly I just like their colors. Ottomans seem really good on paper but I need a really good game as them and it just hasn't happened yet. They actually seem kind of meh except for maintaining a really strong wide empire after you've earned it with your 99999 military related abilities, but theres nothing else in their kit that gives them an advantage aside from conquering everything in sight.
