I switched to a similar rig after updating to a new laptop with faster
CPU and more RAM. I see no performance hit from the guest OS, and I
get to work on a "real" server even when there is no internet.

One thing that you might consider adding to the guest OS is Samba so
you can share the web directories out to your host OS and work on the
files directly.
