RHV is based on oVirt which is based on KVM plus qemu & libvirt & lots of other bits. It’ll run DOS but you might have jump through hoops (learn virsh and other tools) to get it installed.
BHyve, at least as in TrueNAS Core and OSX/Mac OS before M1 will also run DOS. I think it’s at least worth documenting DOS on TrueNAS Core, TrueNAS Scale, Proxmox, Unraid, Linux+Cockpit (which should look like KVM) and maybe Xen/XCP-NG as well as popular x86 emulators for RPi if feasible.
