Maybe a crazy idea

You need to explain some more.. VMs run on PVE host (Hypervisor).. I already ran a VM and booted a AIOBoot or Ventoy ISO and then booted different VHDs..
You cannot boot a VM but you can boot a VHD File! Setup a VM with Hyper-V, prepare a fast usb drive (e.g. nvme stick) with Ventoy and copy Ventoy VHD Plugin and the VHD to the USB Drive.. Then you can boot it on every PC in the world both UEFI and Legacy Boot.. Tried a single Windows VHD with around 20 PCs and Notebooks and it booted on all of them but I ran into problems updating this Windows installation..
Just start the VM. If you want to access the VM console, you need a desktop environment on your Proxmox VE host.

It sounds like he want something like looking glass....
Or to passthrough his gpu with an attached monitor (+keyboard +mouse) to an vm...
Or better said, like hotplug between multiple VM's
Like he runs multiple VM's and want to switch directly between them natively (like the gpu+monitor magically connects to the VM he wants)
However that's impossible anyway, i wouldn't bother spending time here
I think your approach - reliability first - is also excellent! What isn't there can't drag the stability down into the basement either.
Tinkering with a complete DE on the PVE host is possible, but certainly the worst solution.
However, an integrated solution is technically feasible.
It's just an idea.

I think I understand what you are looking for, I define:
1) a standard pve installation
2) the possibility of managing the network (wifi and wired) via a basic interface on pve
3) possibility of having a viewer (with sound) on this basic interface which allows you to switch between vms
4) passthrough possibility (eg: GPU or better vGPU, see Nvidia GRID)
5) in fact it's like being local
I tried to approach it and ran into a wall. I have a laptop and wanted to do just that, but right now it's not possible.
The least bad solution I found is to add the LMDE interface to PVE and then have different vms. with use of Moonlight and I am looking at the side of sunshine.
That's my contribution.
