I'm running three servers: one for home automation/NVR, one for NAS/media services, and one for network/firewall services.

Does this breakdown look doable based on the hardware? Should the services be ditributed differently for better efficiency?

Server 1 and 3 are already up and running. I just received my NAS, and am trying to decide where to run each service to best take advantage of my hardware.

I'm also considering UnRaid instead of Proxmox for a NAS OS. I just chose Proxmox because I'm familiar with it, and I like the ability to snapshot. I also intend to run Proxmox Backup Server offsite at some point, and I like the PVE/PBS integration.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

True, I noticed that as well. Still, it's worth moving bare-metal docker installations to VMs. Easier to manage IMO.
