https://github.com/Parallels/vagrant-parallels
The chef project has a builder for vagrant "baseboxes", which one can use to build own, trusted, ones: https://github.com/chef/bento
Then each of your projects could have a Vagrantfile you can use to start a VM with the right tools and mount the correct directory in the VM. If you make sure to disable all the integrations that Parallels enables by default, npm in the VM should be pretty well isolated.a
Alternatively, once orbstack implements the feature request to allow users to selectively share directories (as opposed to force sharing all Mac directories with the VM), orbstack could probably also provide pretty good isolation.

Colmena is a tool to manage multiple NixOS systems. It is similar to NixOps but fancier in spirit. I am not sure about the size of its userbase, but I do not see many other alternatives to my liking except NixOps4 and deploy-rs. So far, I am happy with it, so is my team.

virtualbox-kvm
KVM Backend for VirtualBox. With our current development model, we cannot easily accept pull requests here. If you'd like to contribute, feel free to reach out to us, we are happy to find a solution.
Project mention: VMware Workstation Shifting from Proprietary Code to Using Upstream KVM | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-01Yep. That said, Virtualbox still has some advantages mostly not related to the actual hypervisor and more related to the UI and other emulation details, so I use this patch to use Virtualbox on top of KVM on my machine.
https://github.com/cyberus-technology/virtualbox-kvm
From my PoV, it mainly is just missing support for more networking options. It's said that it isn't tested much on AMD, but I'm using it on multiple different AMD boxen with no issues.

robox
The tools needed to robotically create/configure/provision a large number of operating systems, for a variety of hypervisors, using packer.
We are using somebody else's vagrant base image. Supply-chain attacks are a thing so it is very much better to use our own base image. As a starting you can look here. This is how the base image we are using is created.
