I might cast a different opinion here:

I think when we add new buttons / fields in the UI, we should evaluate
how big is the use case.

I don't think we want the PVE gui to end up like this ;)

It is maybe better to find out what is the best default option in
general and stick to that (for example, preselecting 'nocache' as the
default kvm cache, or having only the HTML5 console proposed by default
are good things IMHO)

There has been some Usability research on that topic
