Depending on its write performance, that SSD might be okay for the Intent Log (more or less write cache). But you probably need to reset your expectations because, you're not going to see good performance with that system.
Do some IOPS calculations and you'll see why. Especially look at write...
You can do pve-zsync in a stand alone environment, just need to be able to SSH w/o a password if doing it to a different machine. And you can even do it to external storage.
It's so much nicer than the QEMU/KVM backups.
I have a hack for my home lab to allow me to use pve-zsync for it, and in my production environment. ZFS snapshots are so faster and more efficient than the normal individual image backups.
For home, I created a ZFS disk image on the NFS store and am using pve-zsync to it.
It has worked fine...
Except I said "that's not enough for cluster ops and any sort of back end traffic"
Which is more than cluster ops alone. *eyeroll*
If the backend network link gets saturated, BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO THE CLUSTER.
And a 100Mbps OVH VRack isn't quite the same as a set of servers on the same 100Mbps...
If you're using their vRack backend network, make sure it's not throttled to 100Mbps - that's not enough for cluster ops and any sort of back end traffic.
iperf is your friend
I went hunting, and it's this:

So, not ZFS size in particular, just how it plays with UEFI.
Consider a decent (small) SSD on each node for the journal. Otherwise your write performance will reaaally suck.
As it is, it's not going to be great with only 6 spindles of spinning rust.
