GeoServer cannot load VRT files, not that I know of, at least.
For some reason, at the imageio-ext level, we need to write custom classes
for each new format we want to support (not sure why, I would very much like
to see this limitation removed), and VRT is not one of the formats that
we have in our support list:
https://github.com/geosolutions-it/imageio-ext/tree/master/plugin/gdal

However, it is possible to create reduced resolution versions of the
dataset,
manually setup a pyramid config file, and have GeoServer use that, or
simply register each layer independently, assign a scale range to each via
SLD,
and create a layer group that would more or less act the same way as the
pyramid.

Cheers
Andrea
