Please provide the output of the command

apt policy libvirt-daemon-system

The version that you have installed seems to stem from a PPA.

Then you used a PPA and got issues. You can either contact the PPA maintainer or you can use ppa-purge to remove the PPA and its updates so you are using the official packages from the official repost which are known to work and then go from there.

The official package does not contain virtiofs, for Ubuntu 20.04, therefore I chose ppa.

If you have a problem with software from a PPA, then you have to contact the provider of the PPA.
In your case please see https://launchpad.net/~canonical-server/+archive/ubuntu/server-backports

If you don't mind me asking, what steps did you take to do that? Or can you link to an answer in the PPA?
