While getting official support for VMware would be great, the other solution
that I would like to see is the KVM flavour as it seems like it would be a
natural fit for HCI technologies from companies like Nutanix.

Nutanix HCI solutions are very hot these days for Customers who are looking
for an option to reduce their high VMware costs.

The Nutanix hypervisor is free and is based on KVM. Customers seem to like
the solution as well. You get very high VM counts on relatively small
servers.

Nutanix-HPE are also very close so ProLiant support is well integrated:
