I see no obstacle to use a VM as IPSec gateway. As long as you peer the VNET it is connected to with a vHUB that has connectivity to your ER Gateway the routing should be fine to establish IKE and IPSec with your on-prem IPSec device.
I have however no experience how to build a network and routing design that forces the desired traffic to / from on-prem through this NVA. I have seen a MSFT article that describes a hub VNET carrying the NVA, peered northbound to the vHUB and southbound to the spoke VNETs.
As for the product, I personally like pfsense a lot since it has strong features and is pretty stable.
