Looking back, I realize I should have also given credit to @flips33 for persisting that memory is a key issue here. Thanks!
After getting proxmox installed, and knowing I had a system that was booting properly, I put the crucial memory back in, to see if proxmox would boot and if I could access it from a webpage - no go. I didn't not get a beep when powered on and, after waiting 4min, I could still not access proxmox from the web page. I put the GSkill ram back in and get a single beep on power, then Proxmox is online within 30sec. From this, I conclude that the ram is my main issue.
That said, even with the proper RAM, HDMI to HDMI doesn't work. And then there is the oddity of even DP to DP didn't work for me until I tried HDMI to DP. I'd like to chalk this up to a fluke, or user error, but I mention it because of the overall flakiness of this system and just in case someone else experienced the same.
Bios update would be nice. CWWK support has a public facing site with downloads that were posted at recently as Nov 2023, but I can't make heads or tails of it. 畅网官方网盘
I submitted a support request to CWWK on this topic several days ago but never heard back
Here are the two memory modules in play for me. Gkill works, Crucial doesn't.

On a few slightly off topic notes:
- Proxmox is working great so far. Installed an OPNSense VM and it's also working well when passing through the PCI nics. The following guide was very helpful to get past the IOMMU proxmox error and allow the passthrough nics to work properly.
- Unit gets warm, but not hot. Not pushing it terribly hard.
- These scripts were also awesome to get containers spun up on proxmox with a single copy paste action.
