Storage to VMs with Proxmox (alien.top)

How do you guys allocate your storage? For context, I've got a single r730xd that I'll be population over time. I intend to start populating my 12 bays with at least 4tb drives. I'd like to have 20tb raw before to long. I initially thought about doing hardware raid, then using NFS on product to pass, but I'm thinking now I'm going to pass the discs to a VM for build storage and use containers to run my torrenting services and jellyfin. I'll likely be using RHEL and Podman since I'm more familiar with that because of work and I've landed in hardware raid because I have it and the hba has its own battery. For anyone else that have your compute and storage on the same machine, how do you do it?

Also, I'll intend to do some NAS work, but I'll probably just end up doing NFS of some kind. You know, why would I spin up unraid to manage all the storage when I could spend a few days tuning NFS shares for 4 different OSes at home.
