Comment on Proxmox: Running everything on xpenology-VM or have a dedicated VM instead?

I’m noodling a plan to do something similar because my synology NAS is running out of space.
But my plan was to have bare metal run proxmox and have xpenology in a proxmox-managed VM.
I’m very much an amateur tinkerer, here, but it’s been my impression that proxmox is a vastly more powerful VM manager than xpenology.
Even in your current setup I’m surprised you don’t have proxmox managing your fedora instance.
I’ve played with proxmox only a little so far, but it seems like it’s purpose-built to be that base-level layer managing everything running on top of it.
Even things like being able to log into each system right in the browser without messing with VNC or some other virtual desktop tool is just baked in.
….but now I wonder if I got the wrong end of the stick here…?
Hoping people who know better than me will weigh in!

Maybe my comment might be a bit misunderstanding, but I do run my Fedora VM within proxmox too. So, I have two VMs, Fedora and Xpenology.
I was just wondering whether the additional VM makes even sense to have it running alongside XP.
