I personally would not recommend this setup as any issue with your proxmox cluster will turn into a network issue.
Instead, I would purchase a cheapish router that can run OpenWRT. If you are dead set on OPNsense you can find x86 boards from various vendors or you can make a dedicated router out of a network card and a small form factor computer

Agree - critical infrastructure should have as few dependencies as possible.

I own 2 OpenWRT routers. Fun little things. Love em. But running a virtual firewall is a perfectly reasonable goal. OpenWRT doesn’t have the feature set that OPNsense has. They are not the same sort of product. Lot of common ground, but not the same thing.

I understand completely. But I will try my best to keep the Proxmox setup as stable as possible (no unnecessary fiddling/power backup). This is mostly an experiment. I have my old router as backup as well. I just wish I had the foresight to buy a router which had OpenWRT support :(
