For my use case I don't notice any impact but I'm not driving it that hard. My nextcloud has maybe 2TB of data and 6 users, everything else is basically one user and test data. The only reason I run it in a VM is so when my hardware dies it is a lift and shift to get it all working on another box. (Had to do this a month ago and it was seamless). edit Oh and all my VMs mount their main storage as NFS from the host, this allows me to do some HA trickery for testing and backup one system only. It's all internal networking so no actual network traffic generated over my switch.
