EDIT: Found the block diagram and these are Realtek RTL8125B. Not compatible with ESXi 7/8.. can use under 6.7 but I believe that's out of support now :/
The Jasper chip should be able to be used with hypervisors as it has VT-x and VT-d. Wish they listed the chipset for the Ethernet however, as VMware 7.x/8.x only supports a limited number (unlike 6.x which allowed community drivers). You might be able to host a handful of small low IO/CPU VMs on this. EDIT: Found the block diagram and these are Realtek RTL8125B. Not compatible with ESXi 7/8.. can use under 6.7 but I…

For such a small system VMware seems like a weird choice. Why not proxmox?
Yah, its cool, but as mentioned in the pi thread, there are a pile of these jasper lake nuc's available via large retailers for $100-200, some better some worse, but in most cases they come with ram, storage, case and powersupply for those prices. for example, search for beelink.
This looks like a great chance to ask: Besides the ODROID-Hn series, what other single-board computers have dual ethernet? Very few, AFAICT. For router use-case, the alternatives suggested (buy an older NUC, for instance) don't work.
NanoPi R5S has dual 2.5Gb and a 1Gb. [1] 1: https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=287
Double the ram, faster CPU, and double the price.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I own one also, while I do recommend them... I would also recommend some caution if planning to use Linux I'm not sure if this is a common/repeat thing, but for mine I need to maintain a build of the Realtek kernel modules out of tree If I try to use the discovered/automatic/inline driver... it'll drop out if I try to saturate the link. It's only when I blacklist this module and compile/use the one from Realtek that…
Based on the UK reseller, Ubuntu 20.04 supports the ethernet chipset out of the box, while 18.04 doesn't. I run on an unmodified 18.04 though (kernel v5.4), so I think that the support has been also added in a more recent 18.04 LTS patch version.

Or just use Proxmox and fill it with dozens of LXC containers :)
