I believe the MacOS license requires to run on Mac hardware, so in order to be compliant with the license you'd need to launch a big VM Linux on top of a beefy Mac Server then inside the big Linux VM provision all the MacOS VM instances you want using the utility mentioned in the post.

(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using macOS Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.
