I will check that (tomorrow :-)

yes, all working ok

yes

no MariaDB server anywhere and all three have the PVE webUI.  I wouldn't 
know of any other GUI.  Additional packages might come a prerequisite 
for individually installed admin tools (e.g. wireshark).  We install 
them ad-hoc and don't usually keep them on all hosts.

1 and 3 should be the same while 2 has been updated more recently
