To use the virtfs support directly qemu needs to be run as root, what we don't do here.
The related virtfs-proxy-helper(1) would require root privileges at launch time, also not part of our scenarios.

Sure? Sound like you can use that without root, only certain operations like chown need privileges on the host, as could be expected.

"Pass-through security model in QEMU 9p server needs root privilege to do few file operations (like chown, chmod to any mode/uid:gid)."
