All right, albeit I find the "!! WARNING !!" still rather a bit to scary then.

Maybe just an extra newline above and below and then something like your wording:

NOTE: Proxmox VE follows a rolling release model, so using the 'upgrade' command [...]

FWIW, you could also make this more generic for easier re-use, like:

NOTE: Proxmox projects follow [...]

and ship it in a common package, maybe even an extra one that is only recommended,
not hard-dependency, so the power user can remove the warning if they don't care
(or are daring)
