Sandboxing (snap or flatpack) is more fragile than running the application in a GUI container. If you do not grant a permission, the application will fail. You will get to know about these issues from bug reports.
With a GUI LXD container, you can set up Wine as best as possible, then take a snapshot of the container in its pristine condition. Then, you can install Windows programs in the same container, or clone the original container and install each in a separate container. Each action takes only a few seconds compared to what you would get with Virtualbox.

For VMs, I'm usually using Qemu/KVM with virtual-manager when needed, not VirtualBox (usually running Linux guest on Linux host). It has better integration and hardware support like USB redirection, and now there is also virgl acceleration catching up to OpenGL and Vulkan.
