Yes, that’s what I did in my HowTo, which I sent you in an earlier message…
I did state I’ld install the base OS myself. 
The pre-built VMs did have issues in the past.
Add to that the fact that I do know Debian and been using it for more than 30 years AND being using VMWare as Hypervisor since before 2000 - so I probably know Debian and Virtualization better than all our Devs here! I switched to Proxmox around 2014/2015 - and moved all my clients over quickly!
I like & prefer Debian and have been using Debian since before RHEL even started…
All my ca 10 NS8 Clients run like this, albeit most using a much more powerful Proxmox Hypervisor.
A lot are using HP Proliant ML series (Or DL for those using 19" Racks), usually Silver or Gold,
or an equivalent Dell / Supermicro box.
(The HowTo was intended to show it’s possible for NS8 install on a low powered Hypervisor…)
Note:
If any of my clients would like to pay for support, I can at any time spin up a similiar Rocky VM, make it into a member node, then move all Apps and AD/Fileserver via Backup/Restore or Migration to the new node.
At least here, we do have freedom of choice, and a not to hard migration path…
My 2 cents
