VMware is still seen as "platinum" level in my org compared to Proxmox, which I guess to a certain degree is true. But the features in use are basic VMs with vMotion. Proxmox provides that out of the box. Granted we've had a couple issues with a corosync wobble on larger clusters which was fixed long-term by putting corosync on a separate set of switches. So far the Proxmox experience has been pretty flawless. We run a several hundred k8s VMs orchestrated by Rancher and use the dynamic load balancing feature that came with 9.2 so no noisy neighbours. Haven't dabbled too much with Ceph as the VMs are backed with NetApp arrays but I anticipate it to be pretty smooth when we reach that point.
