Yes, it's supported, and your system is more than capable.

Virtual hardware v18 supports the following maximums per VM:

- 128GB of RAM
- 32 CPU cores
- 10 NICs
- 8TB per disk
- 8GB of graphics memory.

Size your VM according to whatever workload you will run inside it. You can always change the compute resources later if you undersize or oversize.
