From my personal, informal assessment I advise against supporting VMs. I recommend a thorough assessment of the data quality, the costs and the effects on RIPE Atlas as a whole before diving into soloutioneering.
From experience running a recursive DNS on a VM platform, I'd also speak against supporting VMs. Unpredictable load elsewhere on the same host can (and does) lead to UDP/ICMP packet loss, which the "Atlas VM" won't be able to differenciate from "something on the path is broken/lossy".
