I updated to Big Sur with the help of a user here.

You need at least a bootloader update. Best way to go is opencore, but newer clover with the right quirks enabled should do the trick too.

It is not a trivial single click update. You need to modify you EFI Partition in the qcow2 image or simply create a new dmg file an put your EFI bootloader in there and point your xml to take it instead of clover.qcow2.

If your not familiar with updating bootloaders be careful. Backup everything you really need before you update.
