I do this at work. If you don’t do pass through for the NICs I’d highly suggest it. When it’s a router it’s insane how much the overhead can be.
We have a 4 gig connection and with the virtual nics got maybe just over 1gbit on a Xeon silver based R640. But after pass through solid 3.5ish. Not sure where the bottleneck is currently, but our other servers do >4 just fine.

I have something similar it’s been working great.
I have been thinking of trying to set up a “router on a stick” as a live backup but once I started researching it, it got daunting.
