I've found that Windows is a pretty bad hypervisor

It really is bad compared to KVM. Though for my usecase of pandoc+vim, running Debian with VMware does the job. Browsing the web, watching videos, and listening to music are okay too. It's very bad for GPU accelerated stuff though which is what the Windows host is for.

I want to dual boot again but I'm still working on this project on one of my SSDs so I don't want to touch anything yet.

You also could virtualize Windows. Just make it full screen or do GPU and USB passthough

I haven't tried it yet but I would rather dual boot for games with anti-cheat that don't work with Wine or a VM.
