the point of these proxmox boxes is basically just to be VM and container hosts. that is their entire purpose in life. I'm trying to get acceptably snappy web app hosting performance out of 35 watt processors 5 to 6 generations old, so it's good to keep them fed with data as much as they can eat rather than have an already slow CPU waiting on storage.
I will probably continue LVM caching of slower/lower IOPs cheap storage with Optane where possible. not sure about my reluctance to move to a more performant and more risky type of caching than write-thru, which is slow for all writes, but lightning fast at all cached reads. that's a substantial improvement, perhaps enough for now with a QLC SATA SSD as the main data store.
