In the past I've just run MacOS on top of ESX, it should run fine on KVM as well.
If you want to ensure you don't break Apple's EULA you can install ESX or KVM on Apple hardware.

Ive just briefly checked other MacOS Metal As A Service Companies, and it seems they achieve this by giving customers access to the Mac directly via VNC. So it doesnt seem to have any integration with cloud. https://flow.swiss/mac-bare-metal I suppose we can do the same, and physically establish routes from our Cloudstack VPC to the MacMini.
