No.  virtio-vga supports higher resolutions just fine once the guest
driver is loaded.  The video memory is used at boot only, before the
guest driver is loaded, and 8MB just for a boot display is more than
generous.

If your guest has no virtio driver use stdvga instead of running
virtio-vga permanently in vga compatibility mode.

take care,
