While current network speeds may be enough to meet the latency requirements of 4G applications, 5G will necessitate a change, if only because the continental US is ~60ms wide, meaning that a datacenter on one coast communicating with another datacenter on the opposite coast will be too slow for 5G. This requires 1 ms network latency.

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%
