Others would probably have additional information, but one of the issues
you have to be aware about is that if your physical machine is over
capacity, the virtual instance may become resource limited.

In other words, if you have another VM that's a CPU or IO hog then your
FS VM may run into call audio issues. That said I've run FS in a KVM
virtual environment for a few years and that has gone very well.
