ESXi free - possible to use Proxmox import wizard? (lemm.ee)

Not finding a lot of info on using Proxmox import wizard to extract VMs from an ESXi free license host. I can add the host as storage and see the VMs but it looks like it's failing afterwards due to possibly some kind of rate limit error? But I know the free version API is either closed or not available. Any ideas? Thanks!

actually just made some progress after I typed this. The wizard was trying to read file sizes of mounted DVD images in the virtual DVD drive of offline VMs. I deleted the DVD drive from those machines and the fuse mount of the ESXi storage proceeded.

edit: and got one down successfully. So far it appears the free license of ESXi is no hindrance.

And the rest of the progress was deleting all the snapshots. Worked great after that.
