I've never managed to get VMs running on top of sparse files with any
level of performance matching a simple volume-on-LVM.  To be fair, I
last tried that strategy several years ago, back when btrfs was new and
ext4 was still relatively new.

Being that what I have works quite well today, and seems to scale to at
least tens of TB.
