In general, you can create and destroy VMs at will. There are also many other benefits to running a hypervisor. If you fuck up your OS, loose access via SSH and lock yourself out of it, you can also console in from the hypervisor without having to connect a monitor and keyboard to the server. However, I recommend against running a bare metal server. You could do ubuntu server as your bare metal OS and run plex, adguard and whatever else all in docker. Webmin is just a web interface to make managing ubuntu server easier but will handicap you in the long run because you will not learn linux the right way using that. You also are not comparing 2 of the same solutions here. Also, Veeam backup and replication community edition will take care of your backup needs and get you even more experience that can be used in the business world.
So if you go ESXi, that's training grounds for a shit ton of jobs. Do you have any plans for a career as a sysadmin? If so, what type of work do you see yourself doing? Small to medium size business are all run off hyper-v (gross) and/or ESXi.
