I think you could also add Xen to that list. IIRC, the old Xen PV mode was purely paravirtualized without using any hardware extensions.

Yes, Xen was big on paravirtualisation but started supporting the other kinds pretty soon, too. (At least they were supported around 2009-2012, when I was working on XenServer.)
I think things are swinging back the other way if I have understood the more recent PVHv2 stuff correctly.
