Second this. I work with vSphere (VMWare ESXi with central management)
and Nutanix CE at work and found them both to be fiddly. VmWare kept
having perfectly supportable hardware fall off of their compatibility
list.

Nutanix provides a full hyperconverged environment, needed a ton of RAM
and 3 separate drives to install the "home" version.

At home, I installed Proxmox on a broken laptop in *maybe* 15 minutes.
Created my first VM, moved my Synchronet directory to it, and the BBS
was up and virtual in less than an hour, tops.

I'm just scratching the surface. It'll do high-availability, there are
quite a few pre-made containers available, backup and mail servers
available and it Just Works.
