Does not work with RaspPIs, as it requires UEFI boot and aspi (see FAQ in in post, at the bottom). Which is probably the most wide spread arm platform for at least (mini) home lab use.

Woah, that's kinda big? Always though qemu didn't work on arm or something like that.
Guests being limited to ARM keeps me from just adding a raspi to my lenovo tiny cluster, but still. Excited to see what's to come
Edit:
Q: Can I run Proxmox VE on a Raspberry Pi or a similar single-board computer?
A: No. An arm64 host must boot through UEFI and describe its hardware through ACPI. Device-tree-only boards and legacy boot are not supported.
This could be huge for me. I have a bunch of satellite rPis with diet pi on them, and I have never figured out how to properly update them over Tailscale¹. Having them all on Proxmox puts them all on a single dash and I can update them from there. The Pis only really run pihole, Tailscale, nginx anyways, and they're all at friend/family houses; so I go around, see my friends, update the pi, not a problem.
¹What happens is Tailscale drops and that stops the session, stopping the update, breaking many things in the process. I have tried Screens and, background updates and all sorts... I, personally, have never gotten it to work.
Does this mean the web UI supports emulated ARM machines on x86 too, or do I still have to go to CLI for that?
They're fully supported, but you can only run arm on arm and vice versa
Just for some specific Nvidia AI devices, unfortunately. I hope threre will be more supported consumer available chips soon
Raspberry pi clusters?
Unfortunately no, check the FAQ. Seems to be working for some AI chips only

I've been running a fork called PXVIRT on my Pi. Though I'm sure you could probably still install Proxmox on top of Debian and have it work.
