In this guide I will condensate all finding I did in my research...cleaning all not useful and deviating things previously found and not necessary today 1-05-2020.
You can use this guide when you have a minimal OSX booting in a window in guest PC/tablet.
To follow this guide you have to read previous one or to have a minimal basis in vm/proxmox stuff overall on vm basic creation (iso association steps).
First of all, download a new Proxmox VE installer from Proxmox site:
link Proxmox download site
Now an important step:
I have used to create all initial files I need to instal OSX a tool created by @Gengik84
He listened all my requests and now we have a definitive and full inclusive tool:
VM Assistant
This tool is very important for our task, it allows to download all we need in few simple steps.
It also convert a Basesytem.dmg or a full macOS installer in img/iso useful in Proxmox Ve OSX installation and VM creation
It also allows to download an img/iso of clover/Opencore boot loader useful to start our journey.
I have installed Proxmox Ve environment in a SSD disk (Samsung 840 pro) connected on my back USB 3.2 port
In this disk I have created vm conf file I need and uploaded on it EFi and OSX installer created with VM Assistant tool
So I will summarise now what it is not more necessary (and in many parts I think never was)
first of all
NO OVMF patching is needed.
It creates many problems if you use patched version!
NO mce=off in grub.cfg is needed in the last Proxmox ve (this part was previously mandatory to boot in TRX40 environment)
Balcklisting and important files (or we thought so in the past)
In the following boxes I will put all I need to boot and passing stuff on my rig..
Nvidia TitanXp does no need any particular rom or blacklist to be passed with its full acceleration.
AMD Radeon, NAVI or older cards may need of some additional steps.
Files useful to know with their paths in Proxmox:

* this file for me is a real mystery 🙂
using or not using it does not produce result in my rig..try by yourself if it is useful or not for you
Now, the only mandatory step (also grub cfg stuff like IOMMU indeed..)
modules load from start not loaded by default. You have to assign them:
/etc
modules
vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_pci
vfio_virqfd
also here..investigated by yourself if all of these are useful in your rig
Now I will put my lspci -nnk output..in my case I have for my motherboard 5 different BIOS versions from initial release.
All of these BIOS files produce in Proxmox VE this same output. From this it is possible to pass all device you need.
To avoid some problem I repeat also here to install your Proxmox VE distro on an fast Usb disk..in this way you can pass all your NVME controller and SATA controller to have a vanilla OSX installed on a disk and not on a "vm" file.

* this could not work if you do not use some algrey's "Vanilla patches" in your config.plist
in my trying and I have seen it is possible to delete all args to boot fine..I am trying to minimise it and see results.
Not advised to use also a minimal set "vanilla AMD patches" because GPU can in this case have worst benchmark.
you could use this set of args (less experimental of previous one):
args: -device isa-applesmc,osk="ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" -smbios type=2 -cpu Penryn,kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+kvm_pv_unhalt,+kvm_pv_eoi,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,+fpu,+vme,+de,+pse,+tsc,+msr,+pae,+mce,+cx8,+apic,+sep,+mtrr,+pge,+mca,+cmov,+pat,+pse36,+clflush,+mmx,+fxsr,+sse,+sse2,+ht,+syscall,+nx,+mmxext,+fxsr_opt,+pdpe1gb,+rdtscp,+lm,+pni,+pclmulqdq,+monitor,+ssse3,+fma,+cx16,+sse4_1,+sse4_2,+tsc_adjust,+movbe,+popcnt,+aes,+xsave,+avx,+f16c,+rdrand,+lahf_lm,+cmp_legacy,+extapic,+abm,+sse4a,+misalignsse,+3dnowprefetch,+osvw,+ibs,+skinit,+wdt,+tce,+topoext,+perfctr_core,+perfctr_nb,+ssbd,+ibpb,+stibp,+fsgsbase,+bmi1,+avx2,+smep,+bmi2,+rdseed,+adx,+smap,+clflushopt,+clwb,+xsaveopt,+xsavec,+xgetbv1,+xsaves,+wbnoinvd,+arat,+npt,+lbrv,+nrip_save,+tsc_scale,+vmcb_clean,+flushbyasid,+decodeassists,+pfthreshold,+umip
bios: ovmf
boot: d
cores: 64
cpu: host
to Put in args Penryn and cpu: host helps to not use any "AMD vanilla patches" and (in my case) in this way I have best GFX performances
to put Host in args and Penryn in cpu gives in OSX a nice output for your cpu name in many place (Cinebench app and similar) Unknow in about my mac
With Penryn in args you will see all emulated cpu name (penny core duo and so on stuff)
*Note*
you can boot without any args if you set cpu to Penryn, you will have better benchmarks but no a really friendly and usable system..I am investigated on this and it seems that +invtsc is the main actor (if we do not use it)
In discussion section of this forum we can discuss how to improve this..for now (chit chat noise apart) this is the first free and complete guide to have a working TRX40 system!
So help to improve and share it 😉
