Thanks.

Currently, every file of the mounted APFS folder, as a virtiofs volume, appears as belonging to the root user in the Linux guest.

Would it be possible to preserve the APFS uid of every file in the Linux guest?

I'm not sure if this is possible, but you can add the user option to the /etc/fstab entry:

-com.apple.virtio-fs.automount /mnt/shared virtiofs rw,relatime 0 0
+com.apple.virtio-fs.automount /mnt/shared virtiofs rw,relatime,user 0 0

And this will change the ownership of files in /mnt/shared to the currently logged-in user.
