A Debian (bookworm) or even better a DietPi (bookworm) installation is suitable as a host system.
Use a 64GB or 128GB SD-Card and A xTB SSD with USB2SATA-Adapter.
LAN Devic on the Proxmoxhost is a Bridge vmbr0 .
Limitations:
However, there are a few limitations with Proxmox 8 on the Raspberry Pi 4. As far as I know these are:
the VMs must be set up as EFI systems.
No third-party CPU emulation is possible, only the ARM64 architecture of the RPi3 can be used (CPU selection: HOST; 1 socket, 4 cores)
There are generally no ready-made VMs on the internet, you have to create them yourself
The same applies to live CD/DVD images for the ARM architecture. So far I have only found a suitable and bootable LiveDVD ISO from Kali Linux.
Creating a DietPi VM:
=============
If you want to use DietPi as a VM, you first have to set up a Debian system from the Debian-Netinst-ARM64 ISO and then use the “dietpi-installer” to convert Dietpi as a "Generic Device".
Problem that can occur: It can happen that the LAN device "eth0" is lost.
Remedy:
Find the current LAN device with 'sudo dhclient -v'
Enter the identified LAN device, e.g. enp0s11, in '/etc/network/interfaces':
add the raspberrypi repo 'https://archive.raspberrypi.org' for bookworm with the correct key and install raspi-config with 'sudo apt install -y raspi-config'
start raspi-config and use '6 Advanced Oprions' and then use the function 'A2 Network interface Names' and reboot.
change entries in '/etc/network/interfaces' from 'enp0s11' to 'eth0' and reboot.
Thats all, enjoy ;-) .
NOTE:
You can make good use of a Raspberry Pi 4 with this:
On the Raspberry Pi4 Host: xfce desktop system with vnc-remote(novnc and x11vnc); Proxmox 8-host, transmission-daemon, Jellyfin Mediacenter and Komga book archive
additionally 3 VMs at the same time, 1 Dietpi VM with openmediavault 7, 1 Dietpi VM as a Wordpress server, 1 Dietpi VM as an xfce desktop system.
With active aluminum cooler the Pi is around 40 degrees Celsius

While it makes sense that DietPi can be used as Proxmox host, like every other Debian, what I take from this is that there is a need for ARMv8 DietPi VM images. We have an open issue/request for this: #5637
I created a Dietpi ARM v8 VM myself using the dietpi installer script based on a Debian12 ARM64 VM as a "generic device".
It would be useful if you had one in the dietpi-installer-scrpit
Would implement menu item for ARM-v8-VM so that the VM would be displayed correctly as a device instead of "generic-Device".
You could also create a small default VM as a backup (zip) file with the vm files (*name.log,*name.notes,*name.zst)
which you then unpack into the dump folder and insert into the proxmox system using the vm-restore function. From such a dietpi-default-vm I then built various VMs as a desktop system, web server, Openmediafaultfilserver etc. and run them in parallel. This all works quite quickly on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM.

VM on Raspberry Pi4 in arm64 Architektur
I'm using Proxmox 8 on a Raspberry 4 with 8 GB RAM, but Proxmox 8 is ready to run on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB RAM, too.
Proxmox 8 installation on Raspberry Pi 4 (with 4 or 8 GB RAM)
I has used this manual (sorry, it's in german) :
