the nice thing about the Proxmox + ZFS setup is that it works and is even recommended without using hardware raid controllers. Less headaches either way. I recently wrote a guide [1] how to use proxmox with ZFS over iSCSI so you can use the

I love the idea of this kind of app. My wife would probably love a tool like that if it's also easy to use. But then I saw the setup guide. Manual sql imports? Needing a previously set up MySQL? Webserver launches via the php command?

Very true and let's not forget the DIY Powerwall people are the real recyclers of old batteries. They are also the ones who ae in front of all auction houses that sell batteries of totaled EVs and give them a second life.
