Firstly, I LOVE your work though this is my first time in forum here.
To the last post - I went from a bunch of Ubuntu servers and VMs to Proxmox and I have had the exact opposite experience - everything is SOOOOO simple on Proxmox and on those rare occasions where the command line is needed it's just Debian underneath anyway so no biggie.
I am REALLY looking forward to datacenter management as well +++111.
I have encountered hardly any bugs, like maybe MAYBE three or four TOTAL since I started on it, and it's ROCK SOLID stable (its Debian, of course it is).
Then again I try to treat it as an appliance - I added Cockpit, Samba, and a few tools, and that's probably more than I should have.
The VMs/containers are where the work is done so if you're spending all day in the hypervisor and aren't admin'ing hundreds of containers and VMs then perhaps you should rethink your end goals and the infrastructure you're using. If bare metal Ubuntu server is better than Proxmox for what you're doing then perhaps you don't need a hypervisor in the first place.
+++111 for management across different datacenters, that'd be a GAME-CHANGER. The ONE big issue I've had is with backups overwriting one another ifthe VMID is the same and I got around it by using a common templates directory with symlinks to it from individual directories for each datacenter with their own dump directory. It works really well. I have NOT used Proxmox Backup which is likely better but this has worked really well for me with four nodes NOT in a cluster and a few dozen VMs (not LXCs but full fat VMs mostly).
