LXD uses QEMU/KVM/libvirt for VMs thus the performance is at least the same as any other QEMU solution like Proxmox, the real difference is that LXD has a much smaller footprint, doesn’t depend on 400+ daemons thus boots and runs management operations much faster. The virtualization tech is the same and the virtualization performance is the same.
Sorry I meant high availability as in the ability to live transfer a VM to a different host without downtime or service interruptions.
Oh, my bad then. But yes, like Proxmox, LXD/Incus can do live migrations of VMs since 4.20 (2021 I believe). Live migration of containers can be done under specific circunstantes as well.
Are you using a container runtime in the LXC container? (i.e. docker or podman)
In some of them yes. At least under Debian as long as you’ve set security.nesting=true it will work fine.
He should really switch to LXD/Incus, not Proxmox as it will end like ESXi one day.
Lxd is slow and doesn’t support HA

Here’s one of my older LXD nodes running HA:
It’s “so hard” to run HA under LXD… you just have to download the official HA OS image and import to LXD.
