Which hypervisor to choose for Windows Server 2019?

Question

Virtualization

Hello!

I have been working with virtualization for a long time, the company has 3 servers on which free Vmware Esxi Hypervisor hypervisors are installed. Everything suits in terms of their work, functionality, features, and so on. Yes, it is clear that there are not many useful features that are present in the paid version of Vmware Vpshere, but we are already used to working with what is.
We planned to install a Windows Server 2019 Standard license for employees to work via RDP. I know that the license allows you to use the OS in two VMs on one physical machine if all cores are licensed.
It is known that the free Esxi hypervisor does not allow transferring more than 8 cores to a VM (and there are 16 of them on a physical server). Thus, I get initially a very unpleasant limitation. And it became clear that we would apparently have to deal with the MS Hyper-V Server hypervisor either as a separate product or as a role in Windows Server 2019.
The server on which all this will be: Supermicro SYS-6017R with two Xeon E5-2680, 64GB of RAM on board and RAID LSI 9260-8i.
I would not like to limit the VM to only 8 cores, if there are 16 of them for the entire server and I would like to have freedom of choice.
It is required that in the future it would be possible to safely increase the RAM, also replace the CPU (buy additional licenses if necessary) and allow people to comfortably work in a VM on Windows Server 2019 (now 9 people).
