I just discovered Illumos based distributions, what are the main differences between those and FreeBSD ?
key features at OmniOS Community Edition

Looking for more ideas
OS Challenge: Try out an Illumos (OpenSolaris) image in a VM (there are Solaris kernel options available in Proxmox). If you want something fun, install OmniOS and create a Linux zone on it. So cool to run Linux on Solaris. https://omnios.org/

Virtual machine efficiency
While UTM is much better at resource usage, it's not perfect. Virtualbox seems to emulate more of a system instead of passing it through to the hypervisor and so is better for running more unusual OSes. I have two VMs there running Illumos which I have yet to figure out how to boot in UTM. A problem that I think is related to UTM's greater use of the hypervisor is that you can't suspend and resume VMs that use it instead of being emulated, so I've still got a few VMs hanging around in Virtualbox which spend most of their time suspended. Finally, what stops me from using UTM at work is that you can't use it as a Vagrant provider. This is incredibly annoying, as the lack of a decent virtualization application makes the otherwise very nice M1 Macs nothing more than pretty toys. I expect that this glaring lack will be fixed within the next couple of years.

Just getting started
Can anyone recommend a good place to start learning OmniOS? Coming from Debain world. Other than the documentation on omnios.org, I only found a few blog posts here and there...

I was thinking about more "exotic" OS's
OpenIndiana is pretty neat. It has quite a few cool features like Zones, DTrace and Crossbow. ZFS is another big feature but you have already said that you don't really care about that. Hardware support is kinda lacking, but improving. Also it's rolling release so if you're like me and don't like that, OmniOS might be a better option; it's another illumos based OS.
