Does a $12 Shelly plug count?

You have remote power management set up for the systems in your homelab, right? A server set up that you can reach to power-cycle other servers, so that if they wedge in some unusable state and you can’t be physically there, you can still reboot them? A managed/smart PDU or something like that? Something like one of these guys?
Oh. You don’t. Well, that’s probably okay. I mean, nothing will probably go wrong and render a device in need of being forcibly rebooted when you’re physically away from home.

if you can cycle your home assistant with the shelly plug whilst your home assistant is down, yes. from experience it’s really quite annoying to have a smart plug switch off HA…

The Shelly can be configured to automatically turn back on after a certain amount of time. It has local scripting capabilities.
If they did that… I don’t know.

HA is on the same proxmox host as the router. So yeah I can end up locked out. Hasn’t happened yet tho! The relay is on my test machine, it’s always nvidia that crashes there.

If you do have the smart PSU and power management server you probably also went down the rabbit hole of scripting the power cycling, right? Maybe made that server hardened against power loss disk corruption so it can be run until UPS battery exhaustion.
What if there is a power outage and NUT shuts everything down? Would be nice to have everything brought back up in an orderly way when power returns. Without manual intervention. But keeping you informed via logging and push notifications.
