Our vsphere environment still has life left in it but we never want to bet on one horse (I've been in too many positions where vendor lock has occurred and its been painful and expensive). However, where there are single hosts instances out at remote branches, it is bhyve all the way where we use to use individual instances of ESXi. So for your use case, it isn't there yet, but, if you don't need live migration, using zfs and/or iSCSI you could tool something together for offline migration of guests between hosts. Allowing you to get closer to the operating system (unlike the abstraction that is vsphere/ESXi), gives you the ability to take the excellent tools that FreeBSD has to offer and make them fit your application.
