I think you can definitely use OVS and create VMs which would have IPs configured from the subnet 10.0.2.0/24. Although I'm not clear on how they can communicate with your production system. I'd suggest giving it a try. Also seems to me you can use OVN along with OVS to make it much easier. With OVN, you can create a logical switch with subnet - 10.0.2.0/24 and attach a logical router to it.
