The risk is not the network adaptor, it's possible to dedicate the physical adaptor to the guest (virtual) the main risk is the host itself. A regular MAC / linux / windows workstation / laptop is not build for full virtualization. The priority for resources is always for the host and not the guest. It can suspend the guest machine (virtual windows 10) anytime randomly or even crash the virtualization app itself.
So, I wouldn't risk it flashing a car via virtual host that runs on a regular workstation. If it hangs in the middle of the flashing your car may turn into brick which would cost you a lot more than $100 a spare laptop sitting in your tool box just for fleshing!
Yes you need at least xeon scalable gold or Epyc rome rackmounted server to run any VM....lol
All you need is 16GB of ram for win 10/11 host and assign 8gb for VM and not run any ram heavy apps while flashing, none preferably with paused updates. CPU supporting hardware virtualisation if you want to pass physical Ethernet card to VM. Meaning any 2008ish or newer laptop will run VM 24/7 without problems.
I'm running windows VM under ubuntu on 2008 run of the mill desktop and only time i had vm crash was when i ran out of ram trying to run blender on host and solidworks in VM on total 14GB of ram
