What are all of Proxmox's required directories?

I'm looking to be able to put in a fresh install of Proxmox, and have Proxmox running by having all of its required settings, configurations, logons, and certificates stored in the ZFS pool

I have "images", "templates", "containers", and "backups" all stored on ZFS

Is "/etc/pve" the only directory that Proxmox needs?

My plan is to to transfer "/etc/pve" into a ZFS dataset, with a mountpoint of "/etc/pve"

That way, if I put in a fresh install of Proxmox I just have to mount "ZFS/pve" ==> "/etc/pve"; and setup the local root account


Is this something that is possible?
 
/etc/pve is a fuse filesystem, so a virtual filesystem. I think you can put the base of the fuse filesystem in its own zfs filesystem: /var/lib/pve-cluster
