I agree that VirtualBox is really stable, and I'm using it in production environments for many years. However, there are a couple of possible drawbacks: It does not support VRDP (remote console) and USB2/3 on FreeBSD. Tha latter is probably not really important (although I needed it too). The lack of remote console is bad for troubleshooting and/or remote (re)installation. Currently I have one bhyve Windows Server 2012 machine, which works fine, although it's not really loaded at the moment.
