Sounds like a packaging error.  You should probably open a bugzilla
against either the kernel or vboxdrv.

This sounds like timing issues.  IIRC, systemd uses threaded processing
in order to speed up the boot process.  Lots of opportunity for failure
there:  race, blocking, timing, etc.

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that there is not.

It doesn't seem harmless that services that the user expects to be
started, and are configured properly, fail.

It would be good if you opened a bugzilla against systemd for an RFE
requesting such a utility.
