You have two problems here.
We don’t (officially) support proxmox (it’s a debian add-on)
What I can confirm is that if you have proxmox on the host, and run this:
you can then create a Proxmox VM with GPU passthrough that works.
(I have a Beelink N100 box here )
I changed the i915 to xe because the b580 uses this driver, see lspcie -nnv:
/sys/module/xe/drivers/pci:xe# ls -la

The Xe driver is also used by other operating systems (CT/LXC) when forwarding the graphics card, e.g. Ubuntu. with 6.12 Kernel.
Therefore, I simply come to the result that the B580 cannot yet be used under plex… If any of you have already managed to use it, I would be pleased to receive a short information.

Correction. It cannot yet be used in an unsupported operating system. Nested it convoluted ways. Luckily it’s not a common GPU for plex and won’t be until more reasonable lower power options surface.
I have pretty much no idea what I’m talking about, so I could be wrong, but my understanding is that Battlemage has dropped support for i915 and only works with xe driver. With Alchemist, xe was optional as they transitioned to new driver. Because of that, I think PMS for Linux will have to be changed to support xe with VA-API. And I think that stuff is pretty cutting edge and you need to build a bunch of packages from source to get it working.
Probably won’t happen until the official Arc support for Plex comes, whenever that may be.
Edit: Possibly an update to Intel Media Driver for VAAPI could add support via iHD?
I’m using this card on Debian Trixie with the 6.12.9 kernel. Can we expect support in the future? There are reports of it working fine in PMS on windows for transcoding.
It’s not clear if this is a Plex or intel dependency or if there are any workarounds
