Ooh good call on jellyfin I'll have to keep that in mind. I hadn't considered that jellyfin would probably want direct access to the igpu for QSV or any other re- encoding. All my nodes are specced the same, hardware wise...I wonder if I'll be able to just pass down the igpu to the worker-node vms and have that available to all of them. I don't need their displays, and all my SFFs have onboard serial in case I actually need to see what's on console.

Maybe? I'm working with a hodgepodge of sffs, so each box is different. I wouldnt expect it to work with direct PCI passthrough even with your setup, but maybe at a different abstraction layer?

If you are going full hyperconverged cluster, look at implementing proxlb too for dynamic load balancing. Its my next project on the cluster.
