thanks for your insights.

what you write about bhyve sounds quite good, so I'll give that a try as
well.

Raw disks are fine with us as we do not overprovision storage (at least
not yet).

I read that bhyve is now supported by libvirt as well [1], so that may
open a road for good manageability (with our existing external tooling).
