Our customers have been running universe 10.3 on Windows 2008 R2 without any issues.
On the virtualisation side we have had customers who moved to a virtual environment and experienced a drop in the performance of universe database. We ran our own test internally and could not get the same performance out of the same machine virtualized compared to bare metal. In some processes on large files the time to complete the process doubled. I would suggest that you run some performance tests on your virtual environment first to see if you are happy with the results and that your application runs at an acceptable level. Measure your processes in a virtual environment and then measure in a non virtual. It is up to you and your customers to what an acceptable level of performance is.

We have found that occasionally we have a run away uv process that consumes the machine. We keep either a Process Explorer window open or Window Task Manager to kill the run away processes, because you cannot get them to start on the Windows VM side. We have not used 10.3 release in so long we cannot say except it is better to be current. We have client that is using Universe 11.3 on Windows 2008R2 and is not experiencing any issues. Disk I/O is shared so their is a speed hit which we notice on large files. We have just configured a replacement machine with a SSD on it. We think the speed increase will more than offset the VM shared resource issues.
