Now my question is whats the best Type 1 bare metal hypervisor to use
that is free, easy to set up, easy to use and easy to allocate specific hardware resources (like HDDs to the OMV only)?

Proxmox VE.
https://www.proxmox.com/en/
Very easy and detailed resource management, based on Debian itself.
It's free to use, though ye can pay to remove a tiny nag screen and get support.
Though I'd put a copy of your DNS on another 24/7 server like a physical
Pi. Proxmox needs occasional patching itself and rebooting.
Check out TechnoTim on youtube.
In performance, this kicks ass compared to bare metal HyperV / VmWare
I've used over the years.
I run two servers on it.
- Dell PowerEdge R620 64GB Memory using RAID-10 1.6TB Spinning discs
- Lenovo M73 'TinyPC' 16GB Memory
Lots of Windows Server and Linux guests on it,
- DNS Domains
- Windows AD Domains
- VLAN ID segregated networks
- Network monitoring software (I code)
The integrated VM backup is just set and forget....
I had toyed with the idea of buying say 10 Rasp Pis, setting them all up
on Raspbian OS and then running DNS 1, DNS 2, Wiregaurd, Ubiquiti UNC
and OMV with a SATA backplane but the cost of using a spare PC is far less than the current sky high prices of Pi 4's plus thety are currently rarer than gold dust to buy!

P.S. I see that OMV supports soemthign called Portainer so alledgedly
you can then set up containers within OMV to provide "virtual machines"
Anyone know much about this and what are the pros and cons of this vs a
type 1 hypervisor?

Isn't dual DNS servers (in a presumably home setup) rather overkill,
while adding close to zero redundancy if they're both running on the
same hardware?
Yes and yes.

you've obviously not experienced the deafening Howls of "Netflix/Outlook/Disney/internet is not working" from the rest of the household when updating the DNS!

Most of that you can run on a single rPi4, service separation using
Docker, simpler than VMs.
I'm not sure about WireGuard speeds on the rPi4, but on an Orange Pi 5,
I've seen a Docker/Wireguard tunnel running at 60 Mb/s, with no reason
to believe it wouldn't go faster.
For a NAS, rPi4 USB is fast enough for a 1 Gb/s LAN.

(the difference is persistence: LXC keeps the whole state over a container restart. Meanwhile Docker makes you put things you want to persist like
data and configuration in a directory mapped from the parent, and apart from that you get a fresh container every time. This makes it more robust and easier to upgrade)
