Disclaimer: I'm not a Mac user, so my knowledge of this OS and Boot Camp is quite limited. I can however say a VM is a great way to use another OS inside your favorite OS. This can be very taxing though, and requires a lot of disk space (hardware emulation acceleration does help with performances - I don't know how it works on Mac computers though). Speaking of performances, your mileage may vary depending on which OS you're emulating (Mac VM + PlayOnMac wrapper, versus Windows VM) and the software used for emulation (VirtualBox vs Parallel, although I suppose they should have nearly-identical performances).
You can already try to setup a Mojave-on-Mojave VM and see how Uru performs inside it. If it works well, then it's likely it will continue working on Catalina due to how VMs work. If it doesn't work, then it almost definitively won't work with Mojave-on-Catalina. This article might be useful, but it doesn't say anything about PlayOnMac...
Boot Camp probably yields better performances, but (assuming it works like regular dual-booting) it's more annoying to switch between OSes. VMs on the other hand run inside your own OS, so (assuming you can spare the performances) they are more comfortable to use. It also acts as a security layer, so there is usually no need to worry about security issues with running a slightly less secure Windows OS on your Mac machine (at worse you will just have to "rollback" the VM to an earlier version).
Note, I'm not saying a VM is the "superior way to go". I think Korovev is right and Boot Camp is probably more efficient when it comes to performances... There is no reason Uru wouldn't run using Boot Camp, since it would be completely untied from Catalina or any other Mac OS.
