Some years ago i posted something simillar to your post, in conclusion it is safe to run on a vm and have the ethernet ports pointed to it, i personally use bare metal since im still not too familiar with opnsense to start thinking of migrating to a vm
Its not that difficult, i have mine set up with gluetun and I’ve been using for more than 1 year now, sometimes i have some problem with the search terms and every engine gets broken but i just need to search with another name
