IMHO I have never found VirMach support lacking, and I have been with them seven years. I have 15 VPS spread over all their locations, and the uptime is right up there with any provider I use. The problem people seem to have with them is that transfers take a really long time to finalize and they have over promised on upgrade to Ryzen.

Comparing HostHatch support response times with VirMach is unjustified in my opinion.

i find HH support way better than Virmach. my experience with virmach took a few mths just for them to investigate and then eventually migrate to a less crowded node. but of course mine was BF deal, so i reduced all virmach BF deals to only 1 and below $15 for 3GBram. so really YMMV.

I used to have 30+ vms with Virmach. Now I only have one(1) and been wanting for a long time to move it. Currently I have 70+ vms with Hosthatch, but 800 on Vultr. Virmach used to have good support. Hosthatch support got better but still not that great. We also use IntoVPS if we need fast support on 20+ vms. Then we have backups on other providers, and ready VMs just incase.

If you are fine with response time within 24hr then go with Hosthatch. If you need fast reply and decent network then go with Vultr. As for SG our best use is with Leaseweb, however I do not recommend them for non-business or individuals as they are best for businesses or corporates who understands their terms and dreadful other charges/fees.

Why not dedis at this scale?

The only things I have with Virmach are their cheap flash deals, and some dedicated servers. I think I have around 30 services in total, and haven't had any downtime or any major issues (aside from some failing HDD in the dedicated servers, but that's ColoCrossing's fault and not Virmach). I've gotten pretty respectable turnaround time with Virmach on most support requests, around a day or so, and HostHatch is around the same, but they have much nicer services in terms of performance and network quality. I'm curious what made you choose to scale up so high with Vultr, as opposed to the other "midsized clouds" like DO and Linode, or the larger ones like AWS/GCP/Azure. Do they offer something that the others don't?
