Best way to virtualize a dedi? Proxmox vs. other?

So I bought a dedicated server from Hetzner (PX61-NVMe) this week for a new project and I want to virtualize it. I'm not sure which software I should use. My goal is to have something like a private DigitalOcean/Vultr in terms of features at the end. I mainly want to be able to manage VM's (create, delete, snapshot) and to automate some things (cloud-init, DHCP, security groups).

I've considered the following options:
-Proxmox: Used it in the past, easy to setup, lacks several features such as security groups and cloud-init
-OpenStack: Tons of features, messy setup, total nightmare to manage
-VirtKick: Seems to be geared towards hosting providers and no updates since failed OnApp acquisition
-SolusVM: Well when is v2 coming?
-oVirt: Looks outdated and lacks several features, seems to be rather geared towards enterprises

Do you have any advice or suggestions? Which option would you choose?
