Me too! Single space vanilla VCA would be nice - or even a single space dual
REALLY vanilla VCA!

A couple of tips: yes, you need a hot input, because the control rejection
noise ration is not too hot.

I find it sounds best with inputs with very few harmonics, like sine or
triangle waves, else the extra harmonics of the input waveforms clash
harshly with the generated harmonics. You might try a couple of resonating
filters for inputs.
