In 2017, a macOS VM (even on Mac hardware, iirc) would function impeccably with the sole exception that iMessage would be blocked. Hypervisors (and kexts) have improved considerably since then, however.

Yes, works fine. It's a bit silly to run an entire VM for a single application, but it does the trick.
