I don't think overcommitting cores is as big of a deal as overcommitting
RAM. Yes, things will be slower, but it's a linear slowdown vs.
overcommit of RAM which leads to swap and orders of magnitude slowdown.

So I would think b, which requires 6VMs (if you are running just one
nested instance) is still doable with a 4 core HT machine.

Again, it's not going to perform very well, but to just try out the
deployment and see what things look like, I would think it would be
sufficient

I have a 32GB "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz" on my desk, so
I'd be happy to test the theory if I can get instructions simple enough
to run [1].
