Went from TrueNAS to OpenMediaVault and we are quite happy atm. Very reliable, decent documentation, easy to use. We were between this and Proxmox when we switched but ultimately chose OMV for its ease. It's been at least a year and with ~100 containers running and some friends asking for VMs it would have been useful to be in proxmox, but not a biggie. However, be sure of your usecase and try imagining future needs just to be prepared and avoid more migrations ;)
