Oh, I have the same NUC. And yes, mine is running ESXi and hasnt missed a beat since I got it years ago.

I just moved everything off it to my Pi CM5 cluster, which is also running proxmox and that has been running well. I did have 1 node go offline for a strange reason, and the backups of some containers seemed to be frozen very early on in the setup (all happened the same night) - but a reboot (and disable those backups) has seen it run a couple of weeks now without missing a beat.

I was thinking of moving my NUC over to Proxmox (I need an intel CI/CD agent running to build x86 containers), so I might have to rethink that. Actually if I can dual boot it and run it for a while on proxmox, I might give that a go in case I have the same problems as you.

I guess you could go back to ESXi and run proxmox in a VM if you wanted to stay with proxmox. I must admit, I am liking it, and do like running the lxc containers for single workloads (or a docker lxc container that is separate from the others).

I couldnt get my docker swarm to run in the container (lxc) environment - would be good to have containers float between nodes - given that Im using ceph. That was only going to be temporary anyway, as I plan to play with talos...
