    as host kms

    With QEMU the KMS server still runs on an emulated machine, and not on host OS. Considering resource usage and performance it doesn't even come close to a KMS actually running on the host OS.

    I believe the basic version of VMWare ESXi / vsphere is still free for personal use.
    You could install that instead of an OS and then use the WES-KMS-Host files to setup a virtual machine on the ESXi / vsphere host.
