NAS vm question

I''ve just got my first VM up and running on Xen Cloud Platform. Wow
that
was both challenging and rewarding as I''m learning linux as I go.
I''m very
drawn to ZFS for reliability and want to host a NAS on my XCP Box but I
have some questions.

If I have the NAS guest OS running of the same SSD that I have the XCP host
running and then I use three hdd from the same physical box and attach them
to the virtual NAS will this cause a problem? Will it slow the system down?
Will i still get the benefits of ZFS even though the disks would be
virtualized to the NAS? When I use the NAS as storage for more VM from the
same hypervisor will there be an issue?

Sorry if my terminology is off I''m still very new.
