Just install truenas scale on bare metal. Then side install proxmox on it (since scale is just Debian). You can have zfs having direct access to the disks and have VMs, LXC or Containers running on it.

If you're not going to use the features of Scale that Core not has, i'd suggest you'd pick Core. Perfomance wise it's better in almost all the basic Truenas tasks, untill you try to utilize the more advanced features/plugins.
After playing with Kubernetes on TrueNAS SCALE for a while, I also recommend against using it. It's incredibly unstable, doesn't support standard deployment functions (e.g. Helm) out of the box, and the slightest mistake with stopping/starting services will cause the Kube API to break. Much better to run a Docker swarm or spin your own k8s cluster with something like kubespray.
