That is also not surprisingly best practice, according to the Tor documentation.

You shouldn't trust it completely since there are always escapes from virtual environments but there's no reason not to.

Best practices would include a setup like Whonix with a gateway machine that only allows Tor connections by your protected machine.

But this would not have helped against the attack described here: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-security-advisory-relay... Once a malicious relay becomes an entry guard for a hidden service, it's game over.
