I don't think any mainstream servers support it directly at the moment. Tools like unsock can shim them to use unix/vsock so I think they haven't felt a huge need to add it directly. That being said, I am currently adding vsock support to Deno's http server, which is a non-zero audience, though perhaps not "mainstream".
