AFAICT, the main weaknesses of virtue frameworks involve (relatively common) edge cases, inconsistencies in managing tradeoffs & often sort of hand-wavy "do it to be awesome" justifications. But it's actually expensive to consistently signal virtue & IMO quite sociopath-resistant
From a moral philosophy standpoint, virtue ethics fails as being antifallibilistic, while you can judge consequences only in parochial (finite) manner, or as @SamHarrisOrg described moral progress as a landscape with peaks and valleys.
The problem with virtue frameworks is that almost all of them are grounded in unreality, which makes them ultimately subjective and, as you note, issues with common cases and inconsistencies. Those virtue systems that claim to be grounded in reality are almost universally /1
derided by proponents of other ethical systems, not because they have issues with the systems (they generally attack straw men) but because reality-based systems challenge the presumption of those that insist that a valid ethics can be grounded in unreality. /end
