Proxmox unresponsive after "powertoping" Ethernet Controller

So I am trying to allow my proxmox to enter cstates by using powertop.
I can set every Tunable to "Good" except for "Runtime PM for Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I226-V".
When I set this Ethernet Controller to "Good" my whole Proxmox becomes somewhat unresponsive & unreachable.

Ping or ssh results in very long timeout and webgui somewhat works, but just the Frontend - statuses are unknown and when executing simple commands in shell nothing happens. Only hard reboot helps - meaning powering off from power source/holding the power button.

I do have two VMs - Unraid and Ubuntu with docker.
What weird is that both VMs are accessible and 100% operational. They can access internet and I can ssh to them.

I am using WiFi only for my proxmox as atm I do not have possibility to utilize LAN cable.
I was thinking that maybe powertop just disables WiFi module, but no - since VMs are working fine.
