One large VM won't give you replication/sharding, failover, or backups.

With one large VM, for most use cases, you do not need anything but the backups.
Sure, if your workload is small and you have a SLA of "it will be fine."
Most businesses do not need an SLA on ther webservice beyond ‘call us if it doesn’t work’.
