Honestly, I don't know :)
Usually if something is broken, it's desktop-related soft (as it's 
harder to test thoroughly). I think that in the nearest future Sun DHCP 
server will be removed from illumos-gate (and our users will immediately 
see this).
I run several test VMs and  VMs which I use in my courses (VirtualBox, 
VMware and KVM guests, but no OI host). There was no anything completely 
catastrophic. However, sometimes some issues appear (don't know if /dev 
has them). I think, you can try. Note, that dev => hipster updates are 
not supported now. The best way to install is to use install CDs:
