*may or may not be* enough - a huge amount depends on your workloads. As ever, watching the available memory and how much CPU is in use in "top" will give you a better idea of how your infrastructure is behaving, as will watching the server charts in virt-manager if it's available. For example,

That depends on what you plan on doing with the host. IIRC live VM migrations use host CPU time, and depending on transport can use quite a bit of CPU (for encryption/compression). Same with storage, if you have a ZFS/btrfs/LVM2/RAID/encryption setup that requires a lot of CPU, that's also counted
