@selea I'd say it depends on the type of VM.
If it's a throwaway-and-rebuild-on-change machine, LVM is irrelevant.
If it's a VM that's aging like fine wine and I can't just rebuild it within 5 minutes, I'll probably be happy if I use LVM at some point, even if it's just saving me a reboot to resize a mounted partition that's in use.
That's why my VMs still get LVM by default, unless I've already designed the rebuild machinery.
