I'm sure there are plenty of horror stories as far as DRM goes. As it stands though, trying to run Origin into a VM is probably going to cause more trouble than it's worth. For reasonable control, you don't start it up automatically, and you can probably run it in offline mode most of the time if you're really worried. When it comes down to it, though, if you want to play the game, you need the software. I haven't noticed anything suspect about it so far (not that I'd really know what to look for). Being careful is good, but going to extraordinary lengths will likely cause you more problems getting it to work than the fun you'll get out of playing it.
Enough people here are willing to give it a try (myself included) that it's not too much of a worry.
