I agree we shouldn't exit in this scenario
virtio in qemu generally seems to handle guest errors
by calling exit(2). This probably makes it easier to notice
the problems, but is likely not the right thing to do.

Right, the thinking was the guest is shooting itself in the foot and hitting, but a guest can delegate control of a device to unprivileged code (for example device assignment in kvm), which would allow this unprivileged code to kill the guest.
