FreeBSD Bhyve Virtualization
Other than that, I use bhyve on my laptop daily since around 2015-2016. It was somewhat painful at first. I had to bake a CD key into Windows ISO for headless install but now VNC support exists and it's easy to output any graphical installer via VNC.
bhyve doesn't offer API and has not the most user-friendly interface (vm-bhyve[1] for the rescue!) but overall, I couldn't be happier with its - typical for FreeBSD - _set-and-forget_ stability.

What Access Point (L2 VLAN support) could I use to connect/extend a network
I am using FreeBSD in the workstation, I have both intel and realtek, and the main network uses the LAN interface, but I need the VLAN 20 to assign IPs from that range to some VMs (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Virtual-Switches)

how to create a gif/gre tunnel to access a DHCP server in a VLAN from a wifi only host
I want to assign IPs from VLAN 20 172.16.1.0/24 to VMs (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Virtual-Switches) running on a host where main IP 192.168.1.10 is on the LAN network (no VLAN 20) this is the setup:

Anyone have gpu passthrough working with FreeBSD as the host OS?
Of what is properly supported, works beautifully and I have to say vm-bhyve is a joy to use. Everything is very cohesive and solid as a whole; I recommend it for servers but for GPU passthrough, only if you like a challenge.

Linux+KVM moving to FreeBSD+Bhyve
I recommend to look into some third-party tooling to manage VMs. I prefer vm-bhyve, https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve

Using i5 Fanless mini-pc as router and plex transcoding server
I was thinking opnsense + https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve to run a debian instance, which can then run everything in docker containers. It's inception but better utilization of all the services.

FreeBSD Jails for Fun and Profit
Perhaps it would! But the userbase is definitely what finally got me into FreeBSD. The fact that hobbyists were contributing such excellent cli tools as `iocage` [0] and `vm-bhyve` [1] really is what got me over my fears.

VirtualBox KVM Public Release
Yes, I recently had to compile some stuff on Windows (I'm on an AMD Linux host) and VirtualBox just wouldn't start Microsoft's Windows dev VM (the one they provide for free for Virtualbox). I ended up learning how to use qemu and it works great...and as a bonus I was able to run a hackintosh (via https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM) and it works near flawlessly, which was something I was never able to accomplish with Virtualbox (granted I haven't tried in a few years).
I'm pretty happy with Qemu now, even if it's jsut a CLI interface. I was tempted to try the virt-* stuff, but honestly it seems like one more thing to learn so I'm going to hold off until I need something like copy/paste between VMs and can't figure it out in qemu direct.

NixThePlanet - Run macOS, Windows and more via a single Nix command + nixosModules
Working on a patch to include it as a flake input instead of vendoring it in the repo, so this should no longer be true. I use the QCOW2s for OpenCore from osx-kvm that I have not figured out how to reproduce yet https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/blob/master/OpenCore/OpenCore.qcow2

[PROJECT] Working on a project called ultimate-macOS-KVM!
For almost a year, I have been coding a little project in Python intended to piggyback on the framework of kholia's OSX-KVM project, known as ultimate-macOS-KVM, or ULTMOS.

VirGL
VirGL is definitely an interesting project, but all one has to do to get GPU passthrough working (from a Linux QEMU host to any guest OS) is: 1.) research a cheap, secondary GPU that is natively supported by the guest OS, 2.) plug such a secondary GPU into a PCIe slot on the host and hook it up to the primary monitor with a secondary cable (D-Sub vs. DVI, etc.), 3.) setup Linux to ignore the secondary GPU at boot and configure a QEMU VM for the GPU passthrough. The whole process takes perhaps one or two hours and as works flawlessly, with no stability issues. (Switching across the two GPU cables can be accomplished in software by using Display Data Channel /DDC/ utilities and switching keyboard/mouse can be accomplished by using evdev /event device/ passthrough.)

What are the current best methods for virtualizing MacOS on Linux?
I also see there is KVM-OSX which looks to be actively maintained, but I haven't heard anything about it.

Lima: A nice way to run Linux VMs on Mac
You can use qemu/libvirt/kvm on any Linux host to run macOS pretty easily these days[1]. I run Ventura on unraid with nvidea gpu passthrough and it’s been fairly painless.
You can also run macOS in docker, but it’s ultimately running through qemu/kvm as well[2]
