How is it as a hypervisor? My usage has been evolving from "NAS" to "homelab" so I'm getting the feeling I should probably go with Proxmox

If you have an HBA I would indeed suggest running truenas in proxmox and passing through the HBA to the VM. Truenas/ZFS really likes raw disk access and passing through an HBA is the easiest way to guarantee that. If everything is connected to motherboard sata ports you're probably better of running truenas scale on bare metal instead.

Truenas has a hypervisor (KVM, just like proxmox). For a VM or two it's perfect and it even supports GPU passthrough as a gui option, but anything over that and I'd rather use the proxmox management layer instead.

Thanks. This is helpful context to have in mind as I change the hardware and use cases going forward.
