Take a look at Pine64 Quartz64 boards as a decent alternative

You’re best off using the PROXY protocol assuming your application(s) support it.

gitlab, several docker containers, kbin, ircds, a bouncer, 3-4 web servers, a couple seperate mysql servers, Handshake DNS hosting and Handshake nodes

Proxmox is all I use for VM hosting, it is well worth it IMO, I colo metal and I host several virtual machines on it, webservers, ircds, kbin, etc. I specifically use Virtual Machines (KVM) however, it does have the ability to do containerization too (LXC).

Tree Style Tabs is also pretty awesome, didn’t see it in the list but idk what I would do without it so I figured that I would comment it
