Virtio-fs is in RFC state, it could be OK as long as it doesn't have native gap for supporting live migration, and I will be glad to see it being listed in some roadmap.
Migration is always good to have at the QEMU level, so I'm sure we'll look into it more deeply.
It's tricky when sharing local file systems because the destination host must have access to the same files in order for migration to be possible. One approach is to carefully copy the files during live migration. The file system daemon must also migrate its state (e.g. open files and handles). It's non-trivial but can be done with enough development effort.
I think the live migration case is only going to make sense when the files in question are on a network file system and the same path is available at the destination.
(I think it also makes sense that this is something KubeVirt will be more interested in than Kata!)
