I would be curious to know if anyone has actually encountered problems

We have definitely had issues where VMs were compromised or otherwise
causing problems.  As the OP said, part of it can be complicated depending
on whether the VMs are running in bridged or NAT mode, but the ultimate end
is that the port gets shut off, so either way the problem is cut off from
the network.  Analysis then leads to figuring out exactly what happened.
