Looking for advice on expandable storage pool with mixed size disks (zerobytes.monster)

I'm currently running a windows storage space with a bunch of random sized drives, and I want to move off of windows and onto a hypervisor to be able to run multiple VMs, and I also plan on adding more drives in the future which will not be the same sizes.

To be clear, none of my data is critical and I'm just looking an easy option to be able to pop a new drive into the machine, add it to the pool, and have the extra space, no need for any mirroring or backups.

Disks currently consist of:

2x12TB

1x14TB

4x8TB

From what I'm seeing online this is not easily done on TrueNas or Proxmox, and it seems like UnRaid might be my only real option. Is this correct or is there something better?
