This may feel slightly off topic but I assure you that it is of great
benefit. Have a look at the brilliant creation of Steve Wills that I
know and love as "cirrina" :

     https://gitlab.com/swills/cirrina/-/releases

It is very much in active development and does a neat job of handling a
pile of stuff related to bhyve. Not the least of which is the creation
and configuration and management of a whole slew of VMs. It is actively
being tested and developed and I have been using it while testing PCI
device passthru of NVidia Quadro GPUs for the purpose of CUDA dev work.

I also am motivated to write up a pile of documentation related to
cirrina given that it really does feel like a Swiss Army Knife which
can do damn near everything I ever wanted with bhyve.

Have a long hard stare at it.
