To clarify I am not asking about a dedicated machine running something like Proxmox or Esxi. My question is about VMs running on your daily use machine on something like VirtualBox, VM ware fusion, parallels etc

I have 1 PC and a NAS at home.
To simplify work Vs home fun, I have Debian as my main OS and a KVM guest of Debian too. The guest is headless and runs all of my media tools for sailing the seas over a VPN.
VPN in a VM is a great use case, Especially if you bought a cheapo VPN to sail the seas but you don’t trust it enough to send your banking traffic through it. I think your ISP is a better bet than a commercial VPN for most really critical stuff. Take into consideration your country/ISP/VPN/threat model etc, of course.
On a tangent, I do this on my home server which I use to download linux ISOs, as well. Just for anyone reading this comment there is a cool project called Gluetun which lets you run your vpn in a container and route traffic from other containers through the VPN container.
