Privacy benefits aside, does qubes run better than a typical vm like virtualbox? I tend to fiddle with distros a lot and I feel qubes might be a good choice, though I’m wondering about how efficient it is

AFAIK it has very limited hardware support.
It is not like ‘very limited’. But generally they are focused around modern Intel CPU, and can have issues on new AMD CPU. And it won’t work on very old CPUs without proper virtualization features.
https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/ can hint on what Qubes will work better.
Also see the system requirements: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/system-requirements/
Are you referring to Qubes OS? If so, what do you mean exactly with hardware support?
It’s using Xen, it has amazing hardware support
