danmcdaquamo4k: AMD will virtualize just fine if you use BHYVE.

danmcdAs for Rocket Lake... I don't know if anyone's tested such a beast, but I can't think of any problems off the top of my head. (And the I210 NIC is well supported!)
-
danmcdYou won't have have GPU support (the "G" part of 2456G), but otherwise the E-2456 looks like an intel competitor to higher-end Ryzens.
-
danmcdMy home server v2 was an Intel Xeon E3 1265Lv3, same family (Haswell) as your 1231.
-
danmcdI went (in 2020) with a Ryzen 3700X for HDC v3. The Ryzen 7s support ECC, but have a smaller *server-class* mobo ecosystem than comparable Intels.
-
danmcdIf you go Ryzen for a server, ASRockRack makes some good mobos, but you have to be careful to avoid the Broadcom NICs on some of them.
