I was thinking about a setup, where I'd have a linux VM with emacs daemon
running inside it, and have emacsclient running on windows connect to it in
some way.

Is this possible, and if yes, are there any known limitations?

I don't think so: Emacs running on Unix or GNU/Linux systems doesn't
know how to create a frame on Windows.

I suggest to use a terminal emulator instead, e.g. PuTTY, then ytou
can have TTY frames on Windows.  Another possibility is to install an
X server on Windows (e.g., X-ming), in which case you can have GUI
frames on Windows.

So basically all emacslient does is send a "create frame" command to the daemon?

I might end up running an emacs instance in each enviroment, and send forms to be evaled through ssh.

Yes.  And server.el interprets that command and acts upon it.
