Yes it's the idea. The last remaining organizational thing would be how to display those multiple desktops/GuiVMs. That could still be separate DISPLAY or separate workspaces (shortcuts management difficulties probably). Currently we have dom0 the "root" display, showing one fullscreen GuiVM (due to emulated GPU pass-through). But, I don't see any obstacle at dom0 boot, to start multiple Xsessions where you run manually gui-daemon associated to specific GuiVM. In the future, this setup would be initialized into the GuiVM itself with GPU passthrough. If you run into this work, I could help you for support.
