Hi,

 > - running VMs as different host OS users

Described here https://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html#securitydac

 > - secure time sync (with or without ntpd?)

Not sure what you mean by hardening here. You can set VM to get its time 
from the host (see here 
https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsTime) and disable ntp in 
VM's OS.
