I would use the smallest drive for boot only and use the fastest drive for running the VMs off , one thing I have learnt is never store you backup and VMs on the boot drive , because if you corrupt your boot drive it is very difficult to get to your backups and a reinstall deletes the lot.
So are you using large HDDs for your zfs true nas pool ?.
My way which I'm not saying is right , I have a small nvme for boot , a 4 drive SSD raidx1-12tb zfs pool for my VMs and LXCs and backups , plus a second HHD 2 x iron wolf 12tb zfs pool mirror for backups and media/photos , plus a 8TB usb drive which I store the media/photos and put save in the garage and do a month or so backup.
