For the other end (K12LTSP as host OS), I can testify that it works great.
We had a training project that absolutely needed Windows+IE, and
just as absolutely had to happen yesterday.  I set up K12LTSP and 4-5 old
P3's, setup VMWare server on the K12LTSP box, and allowed all the users
to run the VMWare server console.  Windows+IE in the VMs, and
everything was nice and snappy.
