What's proxmox's stance on this? I use proxmox as my desktop because I want to live and breathe it at all times so Im aware of issues that might show up in my production environ. And it breeds familiarity and expertise. And easy to test things out.

Proxmox VE is a bare-metal hypervisor platform aimed at IT professionals and system administrators. It is not a product or service directed at children ...

And it has nothing to do with ProxmoxVE. I also don't get why somebody would use ProxmoxVE as Desktop OS, it's not really suited for that usecase. Debian + virt-manager or Virtualbox would be a better fit.
Apropos Debian: They also have discussions on these quite moronic laws and how to deal with them:

doesnt matter, because it *can* be used as a desktop. And yes, the authorities didnt directly ban the site, the site opted to self-ban to avoid any possible criminal action against them. (Why I use it (because it's debian anyway, and has a nice ZFS root install) is kinda immaterial.)

It doesnt matter what the OS is "aimed" at, it's wether it's capable of being used as a desktop for internet apps by 'children'. Which obviously PVE is.

Which highlights the ridiculousness of the law, but companies are trying to comply. California is another locale bringing in AV, and one distribution now has a label disclaimer "not for use in California". Whether that shields them from legal action is another question.

Note that many many other jurisdictions are bringing in such laws, this is a worldwide phenomenon. Many questions abound because of the vagueness and mismatches of the application of the law, and the technical unworkability for open platforms that arent captured garden-walled devices like phones or tablets.

This is actually a surreptitious attack on open and libre computing, which Cory Doctorow has been agitating against for a couple decades now:
