Is it possible to configure an unused Wifi Interface as an Access Point?

Hi everyone!

So I have a Proxmox VE Home Server. My current networking setup uses an OPNsense Firewall (separate hardware), which I use to create two separate Networks: a DMZ network, which contains publically reachable resources, and a private network, which should only be reachable for local devices. However, I have local devices which I want to have in the private network, like my Apple TV, my personal smartphone etc.

Has anyone of you managed to configure a leftover WIFI interface as an access point? I tried to fiddle around with proxmox settings, but it looks like I cannot just pass through the wifi interface to a VM and set everything up there, as I expected it to.
