I can offer some encouragement at least and say that I have been running Spacewalk in a VM since 0.6. The only thing I'd say is to make sure the VM is sized appropriately. I've had to go back and add more vCPU's and RAM a couple times (and disk) and each time I did, it made a huge improvement. Moreover, make sure you do a database dump before taking a snapshot. It hasn't happened to me yet, but technically, if you roll back to a snapshot of your VM, the database *could* get corrupted.
