No, I don't believe so. As a secondary cursor the virtual cursor should be visible under almost all circumstances (in fact, I don't know a use-case, where the virtual cursor should be hidden below some other overlay). Therefore the priority of the vcursor should be reasonable high. Using nil as default would mean that every user of vcursor that uses a package which puts priorities on overlays, has to reconfigure the priority. On the other hand, having the defcustom vcursor-overlay-priority with default nil would still be a big improvement over the current situation, where vcursor users are forced to use advice on vcursor-move.
