We have done a fresh installation of PVE 8 and migrated VM's & CT's from a proxmox v 5.14

Everything worked OK until we updated PVE 8 to the latest version.
Now the syslog shows this:

This error stems from a parsing bug when the legacy-cgroup controller is used, i.e., you probably set the systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 as per our docs to support ancient containers distros.

This is fixed and shipped with qemu-server version 8.0.7, which is due to getting moved to the enterprise repository in the next few days.

Thanks for your answer and update notice, much appreciated. So I will wait for the update and hoping for this to disapear then.
