It depends on the host security. If you're capable of physically and technically securing your computer, TAILS is not an issue as a VM.
You have to be very careful with swap. The memory used by Tails may be swapped onto the host's disk, which means you should be doing LUKS encryption with the host's swap. Debian and Ubuntu and many alike include installation procedures that encrypt swap and the disk(s).
