How Pi-hole/Nextcloud/Jellyfin on Proxmox? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I currently have a server running Arch Linux and Jellyfin, one Raspberry Pi 4 running NextCloudPi and one Raspi running Pi-hole. Eventually I want to host all and more services on one maschine.
I thought about using Proxmox and Docker, but I'm not sure what the ideal setup would look like. For now I thought I use Proxmox and a simple Debian VM which I run Docker on and running Portainer, Pi-hole, Nextcloud, a reverse proxy and Jellyfin as Docker containers?
Is that a smart setup? It gives me the ease of using Docker and a easy way of creating backups of single applications or the whole VM, leaving me with the possibility to add container or VMs for various other services, for testing etc. Or should I just use LXC for said applications?
Any guidance would be appreciated!

EDIT: In case my comment was overlooked. Thanks for all your comments, I'll see how I implement things when I get the time to reinstall my server.

I run NextCloud and Jellyfin (more specifically, TurnKey Nextcloud and TurnKey MediaServer) on Proxmox as LXC containers. I don't know if that's good (I'm a noob too), but it seems reasonable?

This might also be a misunderstanding on my part, but the way I see it, if you're going to run exclusively Docker containers, do you really need Proxmox (as opposed to Docker just running directly on a physical machine, or a Kubernetes cluster or something)?

Don't get me wrong: I do have a Docker VM in Proxmox; it's just that my order of preference for how to run any particular service goes LXC -> VM -> Docker instead of the other way around. LXCs come first because they're lighter than VMs, and both come before Docker containers because they can be managed directly in the Proxmox UI instead of having to use a different tool. I use Docker only for software like Traefik, where the documentation makes it clear that Docker is the preferred/best-supported deployment method.
