I have OpenBSD (and FreeBSD) running on Linode VMs (on a KVM host) and it works well enough. I'm more than hazy on the details, but the issue as far as I'm aware is that OpenBSD does not yet have full support for virtio. So I need to use full virtualization for it to recognize my disks and network devices. Presumably this affects performance, but I haven't gotten into testing it much and haven't noticed it in my (admittedly light) use so far.
At home I have FreeBSD running on Hyper-V and it works well too. But FreeBSD has better support for the virtio drivers so I'd expect it to perform better in both cases. Disclosure: I work for Linode.
