I've had quite smooth sailing using KVM with libvirt\QEMU and it works just fine, just like virtualbox, and I don't have to install and manage additional hypervisor on my host.Gary L.

With "virt-manager" [1] GUI app it is simple to manage guests and virtual network, at least for x86_64 architecture it is working great.

I second this. I run Windows (for taxes),
debian, reactos, tails and suse VMs using virt-manager
and libvirt\QEMU.
I even run weather station software 24/7 in a VM.
You can pass usb ports through to the vm ... like in updating
Garmin GPS in Windows. The networking is taken care of by
virt-manager. You can use NAT (for a private address in the
192.168.x.x range) or direct connection through the host ethernet
port to my LAN in the 172.16.x.x range. virt-manager will even
connect to a remote machine (over the LAN with ssh tunnel) to run
VMs on that machine just as if they were on the local host. Each
VM has its own window on the host (I use kde) where you can run
text or graphical interfaces with mouse and keyboard support ...
even VMs on remote host.
