Yes, I think so, that would be a good idea to install debian sid on VM first. Debian installation image? Do you mean debian netinst? Or debian live's versions?

It would certainly help, though better would be a hard/SSD drive with
USB adaptor. I have an old netbook with a hardwired early SSD which is
very slow. I used to have a 1.8" mechanical hard drive with built-in USB
(no longer made) with an i386 Debian installed which would boot on
pretty well anything Intel/AMD-ish and ran my netbook much faster than
its own drive. A real drive would also be more reliable than a USB
stick.
For repair purposes, if you can see the problem and know how to fix it,
a Debian installation image will also work as a rescue system, making
chroot into the failed system easy.
