I got further with 7.0.16 on Mint but it still wasn't a success. My first 
attempt was TrixiePup64. The VM started up but was a terminal, not a 
desktop and reported it had exited from labwc. startlabwc also exited 
immediately.

Next up was the Leap 16 offline iso. The initial screen had 4 options, 
boot from a DVD, install Leap, safely install Leap or exit. Choosing 
install brought up the familiar Agama installer. I selected Xfce for 
variety and started the install. The Mint machine isn't the fastest so 
that took a while before the screen announced it had been successfully 
installed and to reboot. Rebooting brought up the initial installation 
screen, not Leap 16.

To make sure the new VB modules hadn't affected kvm_intel I created a 
TrixiePup64 VM which started up with labwc.

So in my experience the RPMFusion version on Fedora 44 is the only one 
that installs correctly and works. It is 7.2.8, not the 7.0.16 Ubuntu 
version. fwiw lsmod on Fedora also shows the vbox* modules.
