Have two clients that want to go joint together on a server. Just looking for another set of eyes

Company A Requirements:
CA-SRV-01 DC/DB/FS (quickbooks db, xactimate db)

2 cores 8GB ram 80GB partition

 

CA-RDS-01 (5 users)

2 cores 16GB ram 80GB partition

Company B Requirements:
CB-SRV-01 DC/DB/FS (quickbooks db, logistics software db)

2 cores 8GB ram 80GB partition


CB-RDS-01 (5 users)

2 cores 16GB ram 80GB partition

 

Onboard SDCard to boot esxi 6.7
RAID 10 for data storage 8x1TB (arrays of 4 discs - 1 array per company)

2x1TB hot spares

 

On paper it looks good to me. I have supported medical practices ts environments but never hosted the DB segment of it as thier services were all hosted via the cloud. Everything these clients will be utilizing will be on premise with this vm-host. Employee growth is not expected to exceed another 2-3 people (6 users total) for both companies. The server has enough room to grow excluding that its a single socket server. So upgrading would be easy as just the proc would require replacing and re provisioning resources.

 

Just looking for opinions, I appreciate the extra set of eyes.
