FWIW I have both Voltage Modular and VCV rack. If you goal is to have a virtual Eurorack system, VCV rack is the way to go. It has many more esoteric and weird modules available than Voltage Modular does and many of them are modeled after the actual weird and esoteric hardware modulesSeems pretty slick. Have you tried it?Not sure about VM but you can definitely do this in VCV Rack, with the Host module ($30). Basically any VST plugin becomes a eurorack module, and up to 16 (or 24) exposed parameters can be modulated with CV.
Maybe someday, developers will say if their vsti's can handle fast modulation.
And about the vst2/vst3 thing, everything I've got is vst3 now.
impOSCar was the last one I use, of many, to get updated.
If your primary goal is to host virtual instruments and effects, Voltage Modular is the better choice because in my experience it uses MUCH less CPU
One other benefit I have found with it is when I upgraded my PC last year I kept my old one. Voltage Modular can run in stand alone mode and when doing so you can have 8 individual outputs to an interface
So I use that to host Omnisphere, HALion7 and other CPU intensive plugins. I send over MIDI and connect the two interfaces via ADAT Optical and just create external instrument style tracks in my DAW. You will introduce a tiny bit of latency but for CPU intensive pads and the layered patches I make it's not an issue
Using it stand alone to host VSTs is also phenomenal to play out live
