This is the perfect use case for running containers on your development
machine. Just set up lxc/lxd/docker on your gentoo machine and start up an
ubuntu container in any of the runtimes. Works flawlessly, and you don't
have to reboot or run a heavyweight VM. Lxc/lxd are more suitable for long
running containers, docker would be great for containers that you spin up
and tear down whenever you need.
Give it a try.
