When did it become impossible to run a VM next to other services on an existing machine? As they said, Home Assistant OS works great with that setup and it's rock solid in my experience.

Running a full resource hungry VM when a container is enough is downright silly.

And the HassOS you mention had to go through a lot of work from HASS team to allow for full container runtime so it gets the functionality UniFi's approach has out of the box.
