I run the 2.5-inch versions of R730’s in production with built-in 10GbE networking. Still supported using ESXi/vSphere 7 but migrating to Proxmox with no issues. If going to use ZFS/Ceph, delete any virtual disks first otherwise the PERC disk controller will not find any disks when you configure it in HBA mode.
Just make sure to update the firmware to latest version. When updating the iDRAC, update it incrementally otherwise it may brick. Meaning, do NOT go from current version to latest version. Do it step by step.
