During Kernel development what type of set-up do developers normally use ?
e.g. Machine configuration, virtualization environment etc.
or whether they use physical machines ?
I work on ARM based systems so I cross-compile and use a physical board.

I tend to develop drivers as modules, so that if it crashes , I can
reboot the board and things stay sane.

When I'm working on stuff that isn't a driver and can't be in a
module, then u-boot (the bootloader) is my friend.
