Please allow the virtio driver to use the spice display server. I know this is possible because it works with virt-manager.

It does work over novnc even at high 4k resolutions but I prefer the spice experience better.
 
When using the spice display it requires QXL
Yes, that is the way it works. If you want to use SPICE, you need to select SPICE.

If I select SPICE it defaults to the QXL driver.

Using virt-manager I can select SPICE and use virtio as the display driver.
 
What is the benefit of this?

If you're asking about virtio vs QXL though virtio uses less CPU and performs just as good as QXL from my experience.

Edit: Especially when you remove the 1Gbps network bottleneck.
