We're planning a Proxmox-Cluster. The data-center operator advised to use a virtual machine with NFS on top of a single CEPH-FS instance to mount the shared CEPH-FS storage on multiple hosts/VMs.

For what purpose do you plan to use CephFS? Do you know that Proxmox is able to store VM images as RBD directly in a Ceph cluster? I would not recommend to store VM images as files on CephFS. Or even exporting NFS out of a VM to store other VM images on it.
