I have two nodes with two NICS each. One NIC is connected directly to the internet, the other NIC is essentially a LAN only connection between the nodes with a linux bridge creating VMBR2.

I'm manually configuring static IP address to the nodes themselves in the 10.10.10.0/24 range.

Can I use this VMBR2 with VMs/CTs but also give these access to the internet?
 
Presumably I could also use something like a pfSense or OPNSense VM to provide a GUI to do the same thing if using NAT?

For sure this is also possible. OpenWRT/OPnsense/pfsense/vyos can all be used in this way.
