Read some articles about the resource overhead of VM's, or even better Container which use a shared kernel: it's minimal and mainly effects ram. So if the decision is to put 16gb more into the machine to have a clean seperation of services: I think that's a no brainer.
I do agree with you that complete seperation through VM's is usually overkill, a docker container is enough to isolate config / system requirements etc.
