This sounds fantastic. Is there a more comprehensive guide somewhere on how to set this up?

Also check out their GitHub and quickstart, they have more details. The main thing is you have to run it both on Linux and Windows.

Does GPU pass through mean that gaming in a Windows Guest is still an good option?

I would estimate I get 92-95% the performance of bare metal.

Yes that's actually what Looking Glass was mainly built for, you can game without using a program like Barrier or Synergy to pass inputs back and forth, and you can game on one window and have your work on the other, so context switching is a lot easier. Performance is basically 95%+ of native speed.
