This is another area I hope I'm able to migrate to systemd. I already use nspawn for containers but vmspawn is still a bit new and limited in the options. Once it gets there though it'll be nice to have system+containers+vms under one consistent roof.

I've been using Canonical's LXD for this, under Debian Trixie. Nowadays I can usually get away with just running containers for things I need vs full-blown VMs. I guess the only downside is that in order to get the latest version of LXD installed easily you'd have to do it via snap, which I understand is a dealbreaker for many.
Damn, I didn't know about vmspawn, will keep an eye. But I've been running VMs inside nspawn containers by binding /dev/kvm and using plain qemu. Works great.
