Yeah, I would say there are definitely specific experiences you could make that make 80+% nauseous(I have pretty good VR legs but moving platforms can still disorient me). But a well designed VR game accounts for that, see something like Beat Saber.

Minecraft, sticking someone in the cockpit of a plane in war thunder are both no-nos from what I learned.
