Looks like I have two options for Proxmox + Frigate:
a) full VM via a QEMU VM that then has Frigate as app container (Frigate website is not recommending this approach from what I understand)
b) Virtual environment (VE) thgrough the "Proxmox Container Toolkit" where Frigate is as a system container (i.e. docker container directly in the Proxmox environment, which eliminates the VM overhead. See here: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_pct
Looks like someone has got it up and running in the PCT environment https://www.homeautomationguy.io/blog/running-frigate-on-proxmox
Also, I need to get my hands on a Micro desktop with a PCIe slot so that I can stick the Coral unit in it. Any thoughts for cheap solutions on eBay?
"VE" is just the product name of Proxmox's virtual machine platform, afaik it's not a technology you can use "in proxmox". PVE always uses QEMU-KVM virtual machines when it manages a virtual machine.
The other thing PVE can manage is LXC containers.
I haven't used the LXC part of PVE yet, but frigate it runs relatively fine on CPU here in a VM, as I don't have devices useful for acceleration. But if you are ready to delve into LXC that could be better performance-wise.
