I'm not 100% sure about this one, but AFAIK, Uhyve does not provide an APIC or IO-APIC. But if the acpi feature is active, the kernel unsuccessfully probes the memory to find one. I think, we can skip the search for an APIC if we are on Uhyve and save a few CPU cycles.

I would assume that we need at least a local APIC to program the timer interrupt.

Yes. Something like this is happening. But the probing can probably be skipped.
