Yes to VirtualBox, yes to Mint 20.3, no to kernel 5.13.
I am still on the long support 5.4 kernel.
Zero issues..

Yes to all three - no problems.

Well, I upgraded including the extension pack.
But some confusion on guest additions. I downloaded it to both my host (Linux) and Guest (Windows), and it doesn't show up in the VM devices menu on the Windows guest.
On the Linux side, I mounted it and with the "run" command it ran, but then exited with an error:
Building the graphics driver module. modprobe vboxguest failed. That was on the linux host side.
But it ran (finally) on the guest Windows side after I mounted it as an optical disk. So now I guess I have guest additions. I think I'm just confused about the process. Is the guestadditions.iso downloaded and run on the host or guest? Peter and Smurphos, what am I missing?

Guest additions are installed in the Guest. The Vbox menu, under Devices should have an option to Insert the (virtual) Guest Additions CD into the Guest's virtual optical drive. It's not a separate download, it comes with Vbox...

Yes to all of them, running my Windows 10 guest just as fine as before.
