In my personal opinion: Yes. Wine is great and all, but in the end it’s an emulation layer that - in the worst case - requires a lot of tweaking. I personally wouldn’t want to spend that time so a VM sounds like a good option. But again, depending on the context (e.g. limited hardware resources or the amount of time available) you might be totally fine with Wine.
Now I get your point. Technically, I think it could be possible to only include the changes in Chrome. It would make sense for Google to push the changes all the way down to Chromium, though, as this would eliminate ad blockers on many competing browsers as well. Judging based on the past I would say this is what’s gonna happen
I guess so. I don’t get your second point however. Chromium is as independent from Google/Chrome as your banking app from your bank account.
It’s not an Apple fanboy but imo it’s a lot more transparent on their side. There’s a switch for each and every service to use iCloud or not in the settings. Services don’t just re-enable their usage of iCloud after some random update and most importantly, they don’t just re-install apps you previously deleted. Or bloatware.

I still think they could make federation an opt-in preference though.
Yeah so effectively not federated. Pretty sure they’re not actually interested in federating anyway
Same here!
