Would be cool. The Hyper-V thing, if it worked, would be awesome though. Would simplify quite a few things using SMB 3.0 and such.
Here's my breakdown on where you are.
I'd say you are more comfortable with Hyper-V so that makes a lot of sense.
Hyper-V management is really easy with Windows Server 2012 R2 but sucks with Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 if you are trying to do so remotely. You NEED a domain. The hard thing is you kinda want whatever machine you are using to admin the servers to also be on the same domain.
Honestly, MSFT has put a lot of money and effort behind Hyper-V. SMB 3.0, multipath IO, failover is a given. All stuff that is a total pain in Proxmox and VMware ESXi costs more to do with (still)
Here's the concern: you have to do a dump and replace of the current sites into the new architecture AND do an architecture refresh. That is freaking scary.
Here's the other concern: I googled this type of setup and there really is no good guide. You kinda would want these steps:
1. Setup Hyper-V server on 2-4 nodes
2. Setup a domain controller (or two of course since one could go down for HA)
3. Setup remote management for a Windows 8.1 machine
4. Setup SMB 3.0 with cache
5. Setup multipath I/O
6. Router/ network config
7. Install Linux in HA mode
8. Dump current VM to Hyper-V
9. Do any extra DNS stuff you need
That is like a book in itself.
