At the moment I have my NAS setup as a Proxmox VM with a hardware RAID card handling 6 2TB disks. My VMs are running on NVMEs with the NAS VM handling the data storage with the RAIDed volume passed through to the VM direct in Proxmox. I am running it as a large ext4 partition.

ZFS is great, but to take advantage of it's positives you need the right drives, consumer drives get eaten alive as @scrubbles mentioned and your IO delay will be unbearable. I use Intel enterprise SSDs and have no issues.
For ZFS what you want is PLP and high DWPD/TBW. This is what Enterprise SSDs provide. Everything you've mentioned so far points to you not needing ZFS so there's nothing to worry about.
There is no way to get acceptable IOPS out of HDDs within Proxmox. Your IO delay will be insane. You could at best stripe a ton of HDDs but even then one enterprise grade SSD will smoke it as far as performance goes. Post screenshots of your current Proxmox HDD/SSD disk setup with your ZFS pool, services, and IO delay and then we can talk. The difference that enterprise gives you is night and day.
