I can confirm time drift on VM running WIndows Server 2008R2.
This machine acts as a Active Directory DC, and time drift causes wrong time on all machines connected to Active Directory.
I found a temporary solution -- https://www.greyware.com/software/domaintime/v5/configuration/other/agent/...
You can backup to ANY storage that you can mount. Just mount it, add 'Directory' storage, point it to your mount point, allow Backups in storage properties and that's all.
I have two Proxmox hosts, 196 Gb and 256 Gb RAM, dual Xeon, Supermicro, very similar to your configuration. Very standard servers. VMs with and without ballooning, Windows and Linux, on both nodes and I have never face with your problem.
What is the difference?..
Is your RAM fast enough?
How many VMs on you host?
What is host hw configuration? Is there all of your VMs configured to use memory ballooning?
256 Mb as Min is too small. Try to set at least 1-2 Gb.
Here is thread from qemu-devel mailing list:

Absolutely right.
Also, disk device must be set to "IDE" in new virtual machine. It is possible to install VirtIO drivers from RedHat later and be happy with high-performance VirtIO disks.
And one more thing. When I installed Windows 2008 (not R2!) in Proxmox VM, there were random BSODs...
First apply 'mergeide' patch to your system and yes, remove VMWare tools.
All you need is described in Proxmox Wiki Migration article.
Then just create VM with appropriate configuration, attach your images, even in native VMDK (flatten it first) format, but better convert it to qcow2 or raw.
