I think you could have problems with your hardware being newer than the CentOS Linux kernel. VM's give you more flexibility allowing you to choose among several types of disk controllers, network cards etc. I am not sure I understand your problem with disk space, but if you have a spare SSD, you could partition, format and mount it, and put the VM image files there. > If I can't install and update on metal (due to obsolete SSL/TLS) > then would Mint 22.2 be ok to use as host? Any Linux distribution is good for running a VM... you could also use a Windows host. Personally, I have my CentOS machines managed by KVM/qemu. I believe that VirtualBox should also be good. The SSL/TLS obsolescence may become a problem regardless of your CentOS system being ``real'' or virtual: it is a software issue.
