I use proxmox for the sole benefit of just spinning up a VM of choice without having to deal with usb-sticks, etc.
From there I just run everything with Docker containers, via Portainer.
This is exactly what I do for my personal servers (except with ESXi instead of proxmox).
You will probably want both VMs and containers, there are some things that are not well supported in containers (e.g. gitlab).
I run a couple k8s clusters for work and the complexity is beyond what most people starting out would want, I would imagine.
Unless you need something that has a helm chart but not docker support (e.g. gitlab) or you are really keen on learning, it can be quite a jump...
(For gitlab I still would recommend a VM with the omnibus installer over k8s unless you are big enough to have a separate team managing your k8s clusters. It would suck to have a PV issue and lose all your data.)
