is it worth switching to qemu? one concern is performance, the other is virtualbox 0days because it's a more common target
another question, what do the people in the big leagues with the highest threat models use? just windows cause they're working for a nation-state and have impunity? or qubes? thanks

Qubes and throwaway VMs. Nobody will burn a 100k$ VM escape 0day on you, don't worry.

Some use Arch some use qubes.
The glowies use whatever they want and have entire staging vps's for deploying and hosting tools. you could do the same if you ensure you are connecting securely and use a trusted vps service.
If you are on the run and not actively hacking (such as Snowden) then just as he does qubes is the way to go, best in security
Your set up sounds good, I do not think you need to worry about switching,
