Thank you, I might give it a try though it would involve hacking the
rc.d/vm script.

Yes, I thought that was pretty obvious from the Subject line.

Whence is the idea that "vm stopall" does a sequential shutdown? What sense
would that make?
A sequential startup does make sense but a sequential shutdown? Useless
I think. The man page says that
stopall
Stop all running virtual machines. This sends a stop command to
all bhyve(8) instances, regardless of whether they were starting
using vm or not.

Even if there is a single Windows 2012 or 2016 guest running, it takes
the vm several minutes to transition to the "stopped" state.
