In the case of PVHVM drivers these are the same drivers so the numbers
would be the same.

I don't know of any specific work in this area. It sounds like it would
be an interesting project for someone with an interest in reliability
engineering etc to undertake.

All domains are equally isolated from the other domains in the system,
be they domain 0, PV domU or other HVM domains. One domain cannot crash
another unless it has particular privilege.
