Can you play multiplayer games and not get banned?

This depends on the Game, but most work and VM is usually not a reason to ban players. But some AntiCheat systems like the one from Valorant try to detect VM's and refuse to run on them.

I haven’t heard of this. Why is gaming from a VM blocked?

Looks like that's for running it on linux via proton, not running on a VM.

I hear MMOs don't like it because it makes it easier for multiboxers.

You can cheat by reading and modifying memory from a VM from the host instance, or something like that.
