I recently set up a dell R710 running esxi 6.5. I have a pihole vm and a kali Linux vm. I was wondering what else I should look into adding.

you could start playing with Docker and/or Kubernetis.
There are 100s of ways to deploy it on VMWare:
Install and manage automatically a Kubernetes cluster on VMware vSphere with Terraform and Kubespray
The Road to Kubernetes & vSphere Integration
sk8s – Simple Kubernetes (k8s) Virtual Appliance
Creating a vSphere Cluster

Docker is on my end to toy with.. will be definitely asking for help up here as I am clueless... read up on it and just cant wrap my head around it... me and another guy at work just cant grasp it.. hah

Dockers pretty convenient to use especially with apps that use small amounts of resources, it reduces the overhead substantially.
I have several ubuntu esxi vms running for docker.
