Maybe? It's not generally a recommended path (Deja Dup does a lot of talking to your session dbus and that doesn't work as well when run as root).

"list-current-files" is the thing it does right before it starts really restoring (rather than just prepping and sussing out your backup files). Not sure that's a helpful hint.

(That does match up with my worry about policykit. But as you say, that shouldn't be involved based on how you're restoring.)

I have not run Deja Dup in a VM in a while. I wonder if there's something we do that would be incompatible in that setting?
