Worth It To Switch To Proxmox From Server 2022?

Hey yall,

I have a server that I've been running for years first on 2019 and now on 2022. I use it to set up game servers for buddies and have recently decided that I want to give users more control and isolate things out. To that end, I've moved their stuff all into Hyper-V VMs, but am considering doing some hardware upgrades to my box to allow me to host more VMs for friends.

I am running an HP Proliant DL380 G9 and using the HBA that it came with and will soon up the server to having 44 cores overall. I have to do the hardware swap on the processors, but I am wondering if at the same time there is any real benefit to converting the current vms to proxmox format and reinstalling the base OS as Proxmox. I know it uses less resources, but don't know if the time investment into converting the base OS is worth it versus the headache savings of just leaving the server running 2022 and using Hyper-V. Currently virtualizing one instance of server 2025 and another of ubuntu. Plan on rolling out more ubuntu vms. Environment is a single server and I have no real plan on expanding into multiple physical servers.
