When you have, as I do, more than a dozen VMs and a host machine with a 500GB SSD, even with each one being given a minimal 64GB virtual disk there's not enough room for each to have a fixed size .vhdx. Typically my VMs all have 128GB drives, so even a 1TB SSD would be too small.
And that's not even taking account of the vast increase in time and external storage required to make a system image of the host machine each month.
My monthly routine before making a Macrium Reflect image of the host machine is to go through each of its VM, delete any no longer needed checkpoints, and compact its .vhdx.
