@gabriel proxmox. Though I guess my answer depends slightly if you're managing them manually or programmatically, if the workload / VM type is all non-Windows, all uniform, etc.

I want VPSes for my own services that aren't too hard to back up

This I've been meaning to try out.
Seems similar to virtualBox which is what I used before I got addicted to docker

@gabriel for VPS use, Proxmox is very good, as far as i know. I think there are a few others as well.

If you want to manage VM, containers and docker with low overhead give incus a look. It even has a nice webui that is completely unnecessary but useful for normal people.

Maybe
@dcc@annihilation.social is right that I should just abuse qemu on the pi 😆
Might try that soon and if it's not enough then go crazy
