I've set up serial port for vm and it works correctly but I can get proxmox console to view my machine (there's "unable to find a serial interface" error on start proxmox console). It's Windows 10 so I get it by remote desktop.
Is it possible to using serial port passthrough and proxmox console?
 
On GUI I can only set 0,1 etc. for serial port so I've set it on shell with command
qm set VM-number-serial /dev/ttyS0
 
This works here as expected with latest Proxmox VE and Windows 10.
What Proxmox VE version do you use?
 
Here is the config of the VM were console and VNC is working parallel.

Code:
agent: 1
bootdisk: scsi0
cores: 4
cpu: EPYC
ide2: none,media=cdrom
machine: q35
memory: 4096
name: Windows10
net0: virtio=06:ff:ff:F9:D7:86,bridge=vmbr0
numa: 0
ostype: win10
scsi0: WDSN750:vm-305-disk-0,cache=writeback,discard=on,size=60G,ssd=1
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
serial0: /dev/ttyS0
smbios1: uuid=d388d96e-6675-4306-a0b9-be41dc52b015
sockets: 1
usb0: spice
vga: qxl
vmgenid: 3e00faa8-7a6c-445a-9984-d6054fe05140
 
Which setting is most important?
CPU, machine or vga? What's the type 'qxl' in vga?
 
OK, I've configured spice for vm step by step and now it works. I can use vnc and spice remote viewer.
