My initial motivation was to have a way to group VM processes and kill them altogether, because I tend to have a lot of them around after a while. Given that systemd --user is very capable and based on https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/writing-vm-managers/, I thought that was probably the way to go.

No, it is under user.slice, ex with this series: CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user(a)1000.service ├─machine.slice │ └─machine-qemu\x2delmarco\x2d1\x2dfedora.scope │ ├─24714 /usr/bin/swtpm socket --daemon --ctrl type=unixio,path=/run/user/1000/libvirt/qemu/run/swtpm/1-fedora-swtpm.sock,mode=0600 --tpmstate dir=/home/elmarco/.config/libvirt/qemu/swtpm/053f84e7> │ ├─24716 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/run/user/1000/libvirt/qemu/run/dbus/1-fedora-dbus.conf │ ├─24719 /home/elmarco/src/libslirp-rs/target/debug/libslirp-helper --fd=27 --dbus-id=slirp-52:54:00:9c:bb:6c --dbus-address=unix:path=/run/user/1000/libvirt/qemu/run/dbus/1-fedora-dbus.sock --exi> │ ├─24722 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name guest=fedora,debug-threads=on -S -object secret,id=masterKey0,format=raw,file=/home/elmarco/.config/libvirt/qemu/lib/domain-1-fedora/master-key.aes -obje> │ └─emulator
