It's actually not bad to do it as long as your host machine has a static ip. Makes it easier to take a snapshot before you make major changes. Just be prepared with an extra router. If you have a family the second the Internet is not working you will be blamed.

Yeah, that's reasonable

install pfsense in a VM where the host machine gets it's ip from the VM

This not so much

Lol, I get blamed enough for DNS, I don't need routing too
