You guys are overreacting. :)

The bug was in a patch applied to the upstream (kernel.org) kernel
version 4.17. Therefore any distribution running this kernel was
affected -- including Fedora and SuSE. Red Hat backports upstream
patches and this particular one was one of them.

By the way, there is a nicely written article about VirtualBox at RH:

https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/hello-world/#virtualbox

along with other VM technologies.

All CentOS 8.1.1911 validations were done over PXE (machines reinstalled
- physical or VMs).
So that article mentions something specific about non distro kernel to
have other kmod enabled.
Is that what you need ?
IF not, just ensure that you (obviously) boot anaconda through pxe with
the kernel/initrd.img that *matches* the tree you're installing from (as
yes, a kernel/initrd from 8.0.1905 wouldn't work to kick a 8.1.1911 install)
