Works with very narrow set of hardware when stars align correctly and there is not too many spots on the Sun. Usually utterly useless in practice

VMware Workstation passthoughs are very reliable for me. I can't say the same for VirtualBox though.

My experience for generic Virtual Serial Port hardware

* MacOS Parallels - Abysmal performance, constant USB timeouts. Virtually useless

* Virtual box on Windows, emulating Windows - Able to detect device, but unable to talk to it.

* Virtual box on Linux emulating Windows - USB does not even detect.
