The package maybe experimental but the VNC protocol isn't experimental.
After using virtual box for so many years I certainly know what an extention is.

Just so it's clear it states
Another extension pack called VNC is available. This extension pack is open source and replaces the previous integration of the VNC remote access protocol. This is experimental code, and is initially available in the Oracle VM VirtualBox source code package only. It is to a large portion code contributed by users, and is not supported in any way by Oracle.

The issue is when installing virtualbox on mxlinux the extension for vnc is already installed. If you install directly from virtualbox the extension Vnc is not installed.
If your read the post xvmodx you would see Virtualbox does not install Vnc extension. Only when installing from from the linux distribution of software.
