How well will oassing NVMe and SATA SSDs to VM for installing Windows 10 directly on them work?

I have never used Proxmox but am looking to move. I'm trying to do some research to make sure my planned configuration will work.

I intend to have only two VMs:
  1. Home Assistant
  2. Windows 10 daily driver
My machine has 3x disks:
  1. 256 GB NVMe
  2. 4 TB SSD
  3. 256 GB SSD
I am going to install Proxmox on the 256 GB SSD (#3). And, on it, I will create two VMs.

For my Windows 10 VM, I was going to pass through:
  • most of the USB ports
  • my CPUs integrated GPU (i5-8500)
  • the 256 GB NVMe
  • the 4 TB SSD
And I was going to have it install Windows directly on the 256 GB NVMe instead of a disk image.

Will this work? Any pros/cons to this?
