If that's my OpenCore ISO, I rechecked High Sierra recently with v18 and it boots fine.

The mid/hard way would be to have a powerful PC like I did recently, switch to Linux as the host, and use it as your main OS and then for specific stuff, turn on the Windows or OSX machines. The problem here is that you have to deal with Linux and its quirks... editing files with the terminal, sudo, setting up QEMU, editing the libvirt XML files (or create your own bash scripts for QEMU) and so on... It feels like a hassle sometimes, and getting OSX to work in a virtual environment is a hit or miss - there's a few projects out there that can help) but then getting them to work is like running a command and having it contained in its own "window" and you can also share files between the host and the VM almost seamlessly.

What are you using to create VM? You don't need to configure these two: macOS Simple KVM OpenCore KVM

Jenkins is an automation tool for "Infrastructure As Code", it's designed to help roll out changes to many systems at once by treating config changes as software development where you have build tests in an environment and "go green" states that return an OK or not ok status on any particular change. Jenkins also has a huge community of plugins created and maintained by... The community. The proxmox plugin is one such plugin: https://github.com/jenkinsci/proxmox-plugin
