I did this under esxi.  It was a bit of a PITA to get working.  You have to make sure that the virtual hardware you present to xcp-ng is "right" and you also have to make the vSwitch that the vNICs are connected to fully promiscuous so any VMs you run nested will be able to access the network.

I had trouble with that last part and was unable to get help from forums, because either "nested virtualization is a bad idea" or they didn't have any experience doing that.

I can tell you EXACTLY how to get xcp-ng running under esxi.  Since I've never really used ProxMox, I am not sure how to control the vswitch.
