Proxmox is entirely free and very, very reliable. Personal preference is fine, but I really don't think any of your claims are true.

I thought you had to pay a fee to access their updates repository? It's been a while though so I may be mistaken.

There's community update repositories you can swap out.

I'm not really sure what the difference is.

The difference: the free repositories get the updates before the enterprise repo.

So, the software versions that go into the enterprise repo are considered stable by then.

(If we're talking about Proxmox, that is.)

Enterprise repos are better tested and somewhat guarantee updates don’t explode anything.
