Since Exchange 2010, the preferred architecture says that you put logs and databases on the same volume, but no more than 4 per physical disk.
It's a complicated question. Much more so than it seems. Few small and medium sized companies deploy according to the preferred architecture. The right answer is to plan your deployment according to the Mailbox Calculator and then to test your deployment using JetStress.

Back in the physical days , it was always OS, LogFiles, and DB on separate disks/volumes/arrays etc.. Now with virtulization, is it still recommended /best practice to create separate VHD's for the OS/DB/Log files for performance gain? TIA
