Yes, that makes sense. I’ve been playing with running in simulator mode for non-hypervisor work. The main issue I run into doing it how you describe is that there are linux-specific tests and scripts to successfully build and run.
I think the main culprits are hypervisor tests that expect files like /proc/meminfo and scripts with bash 4 arrays. Maybe some of that could be fixed but I think building in Docker is a common and reasonable pattern too.
