They should work. Works for all cores of your host system. Also you can download ESXi from here.

ESXi used to be free "for life", but if you wanted to cluster or do anything more then just a single host, you have to pay $$$$" Then broadcom said NOPE, no more freebee's!!! Pay us 15x what you did to vmware and we'll give you the privilage of LEASING this software for another year. and invalidated all the previous lifetime licesnes that everyone owned as Vmware used a paid once model for licenses and just paid for maintenance/upgrades/updates
ProxMox is relativily new in this space and VMWare you have a TON more advanced items you can do in enterprise enviroments and even home labs. ProxMox is limited in its capabilities, but they are making it better and better. VMWare was the KING of virtualization. Broadcom has seen to it that they will die after Broadcom squeezes every last red cent out of it, like they do...
I have worked on VMWare now for over 13 years and certified on many versions/systems. It took me a bit to get used to ProxMox. XOA is what I tested out first, but they have even MUCH LESS available to do, i.e. network/vnetwork. ProxMox can do a bunch of things via Scripts/CLI/API, so that is a plus, but automating functions and lifecycles and stuff, there is no out of the box systems (like vmware 6 years ago or so, before vops and vrealize), But trying to automate in ProxMox is proving dificult for myself, but I have to migrate my 2 clusters:
Cluster 1 - Legacy Vmware:
3 HP DL380 G9s
Cluster 2 - ProxMox New Cluster (will fold VMWare cluster into ProxMox after server migration is completed. (NEW CLUSTER I am building now)
3 HP DL360P G10
I run TrueNas on an HP DL360 G8:
Each host has 2 aggragated in active/active config, so a 20 Gbps link between each host to a dedicated massive switch for only traffice between the TrueNas to each host on their own VNLAN/Subnet, so that way all traffic for the VM disks has that 20Gbps link back to the TrueNAS. Makes the VM's run SUPER FAST!!!! Each of the other hosts has then two aggragated 10Gbps to eachother, so 4 total, going to 2x 20Gpbs links (active/acitve load balanced round robin with packets, so traffic is SUPER FAST) from the hosts to my other massive aggragation switch. and all my other network conencts to it over a 20Gbps backbone that my entire nework has running downt he back.
Oh yeah, and this is all in my home lab... I think I have an addiction... HAHAAHAHAHAHA
I miss the massive virtual networking that vmware could do... from virtual firewalls for massive networks to smaller ones. Helping isolate traffic, internal vlans and routing, setup a set of virtual switches between DC's/clusters/containers, and much more. Proxmox gives some network capabilities, so for that i'm atleast greatful more then XOA's... :(.
