Switching from Xenserver to Proxmox?

Good afternoon. Please help with advice on whether to switch from Xenserver to Proxmox. The hypervisor works at home. Several virtual machines will work inside, including Windows 10, debian, centos, NAS on NAS4Free OS and some others. The host has 4 disks: one 60GB SSD, one WD 10000rpm, and 2 2TB disks.
The hypervisor will be installed on the SSD. The system partitions of the virtual machines should be located on the rest of the SSD and on the WD (maybe it makes sense to install the hypervisor on the WD, and use the SSD as a storage for the VM system images?).
The hypervisor requires:

  • Possibility of forwarding disks to VM (2 disks of 2 TB must be given to NAS4Free)
  • Forwarding USB devices to VM
  • Autostart VM after host boot
  • Create VM Snapshots

Actually, Xenserver has all this and worked until recently. But Proxmox implements, for example, scheduled backups and many other goodies are available from the GUI.
Now, after a small upgrade, the question arose, in your opinion, is it worth switching from Xenserver to Proxmox, does the second one have any advantages and can it do everything from the list of necessary things?

it doesn’t know how to forward usb out of the box, but you can manually forward it in the kvm config, otherwise it can
do everything, well, I think backup cron is also not difficult to set up in the xenserver.
