I have NVMe SSDs, and SATA SSDs.
As I am planning to reconfigure my server, I was wondering what would be wise....

I will combine the disks into two logical volumes, mounted as /nvme and /ssd, and I want to use one of them for the VMs and LXCs, and the other one for the data folders that are added to the containers as mount points. Like videos for Plex, databases for the sql server, documents and other files for the samba server, etc.

/nvme is 2Tb in total and /ssd sums up to 4Tb, so I was thinking to put the VMs and containers on /nvme, and the data directories on /ssd. Is that a good idea, considering that the NVMe disks are a lot faster than the SATA disks...

By the way, apart from those disks, I will use a small disk for the OS.
