The challenging bits are all outside of the KVM like the VPC networking that has to be implemented using some SDN (e.g OpenVSwitch), block devices, etc VMware

VMware had a solution for all of these natively and with support. Not using their hypervisors you have to manage a huge pile of OSS+proprietary integrations and actually have staff who truly understand how everything works down to the lowest level. Doable but probably above the pay grade for most
- sofixa 2y ago> VMware had a solution for all of these natively and with support VMware support had always been a crapshoot. Now under Broadcom it's even worse. So having support that may or may not be useless isn't a big advantage, really. Not everyone needs an SDN, depending on their networking requirements or topology. Storage is also not a very complicated problem if you already have a SAN. Solutions like Proxmox come with everything included too, so you don't have to build everything from scratch.
