AFAIK it isn't an issue. My Intel based Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H was set up
to "Legacy only", but Virtualbox always worked. One fine day I
experienced issues when booting a Linux from bare metal, while non of my
Linux multi-boot machine's Linux installs is set up for UEFI usage,
and FWIW all of my internal SSDs, as well as the external USB HDD backup
drives are using MBR. However, I migrated from the "Legacy only" setting
to "UEFI and Legacy" and got rid of the bizarre boot issues.
