If your motherboard supports boot from USB I don't see any problems in that. But remember that USB-drives doesn't wear evenly, so it may fail faster than any ordinary SSD-drive.

AW: running the OS from a USB Flash Device
Hi.
Sorry, but this don't work as Windows will NOT install on a removable disk at all. There are few USB Sticks that can possibly be modified by changing the "removable Flag" in it's firmware but no one ever can give you a guarantee. Most of the time nothing happens at all but in worst case you can destroy the stick.
You can only install a "Live" Version like BartsPE ore something like that to a removable drive.
The "better" way is to use a CF Card with internal cf2sata adapter as this won't be recognised as "removable".

MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.

Can you try excluding the recording folder of all background processes? (f.e. defender/antivirus etc, and maybe (don't know if that is even a thing) from creating thumbnails)
