If I upgrade to Big Sur will Parallels 15.1.5 run ok? I have heard conflicting reports, anyone running parallels 15.1.5 ok on Big Sur?

Full support for Big Sur was added with Parallels 16. Parallels 15 is only partially compatible. See this page for details.
Yeah I have seen that but it is not clear what that means, if I upgrade to Big Sur will my existing virtual machine keep working?

It may or may not. This page shows a list of specific known and resolved issues that were fixed in Parallels 16.

I suppose the only way to know for sure in your own personal case would be to fully back up MacOS and the VM and try it.
