Are there any benefits of running Proxmox and virtualizing everything, vs having a host OS and running Docker and libvirt to host VMs for services that need it? I know that Proxmox does some storage management etc, but it seems like I could get everything it does with a well-managed host OS + ZFS/btrfs and using virtualization tools

Running Home Assistant OS in a virtual machine using the provided VM images is a supported configuration.

From ADR-0015: Installation Method: Home Assistant OS:

Supported Hypervisors

The Home Assistant Operating System can be run on a Hypervisor and thus be run as a virtual machine. The following Hypervisors are supported:

  • KVM/QEMU
  • VirtualBox
  • VMWare
  • Xen

We will provide documentation for the following systems build on top of these technologies:

  • Proxmox (KVM/QEMU based)
  • Unraid (KVM/QEMU based)
  • VirtualBox
  • VMWare
