I’d recommend using Cockpit to manage VMs (which manages them through libvirt, which in turn creates KVM (and other) VMs). [https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/manage-virtual-machines-cockpit](https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/manage-virtual-machines-cockpit)

Another front-end for libvirt, `virt-manager`, is still available but since Red Hat focuses on Cockpit …

The good part about VM guests is that they are rather quick to install, so some reinstalls wont take long, should one make mistakes on first attempts.

I’d expect a VM host be “for production”, i.e. not CentOS Stream.
