Got any documentation on how a setup like this might be implemented? I'm curious how the interfaces float between nodes to keep the network up.

Is it relying mostly on switches for the physical connectivity, including upstream?

I use managed switches for this, L2 units are fine if you let opnsense do all the inter-VLAN routing. All network devices go into the switches which are connected to the servers. As CptKriechstrom mentioned my PON or modem is connected to a switch and is tagged into a VLAN, which enters opnsense through that specific virtual interface.

I use (EdgeMAX) managed switches, so that shouldn't be an issue, I understand the concept now of what I'd need to do but I'm going to have to find a tutorial or something as I wouldn't know how exactly to set that up.

I set this up recently but with libvirt instead of proxmox. Used openvswitch and configured it with netplan.

I'm not super experienced with networking. Does this require BGP for the router to move between hosts?

If my PON is connected into one of the nodes, how do I allow the router to roam if a node fails? Will look into openvswitch.

Not really ever done virtualized networking so it doesn't immediately click for me.

Put your PON on a separate VLAN on the switch

Ok, It's slowly coming together. So I assume I'd then put the virtual WANs of each cluster node on the same VLAN and whichever is currently hosting the router would chat with the PON to give me a WAN link.
