I am looking at SuperMicro SuperStorage 2029P-DN2R24L for running TrueNAS Scale.
This server is a 2U unit with two separate servers in it, but they share the drives via PCI-E
And it's the PLX PEX8717 chip on the motherboard.
The idea I were sold into is the ability to have failover on the node level, in one chassis sharing the same drives.
From what I understand this is technically possible due to the PLX NTB and the fact that the NVMe drives are dual channel.
Could someone lead me into a go or no-go for TrueNAS Scale in this server?

Two hot-pluggable systems (nodes) in a 2U form factor. Each node supports the following:
Dual Socket P (LGA 3647) support 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (Cascade Lake/Skylake)‡
24 U.2 Hot-swap dual-port NVMe drive bays
Dedicated node to node connectivity featuring high performance PLX NTB PCI-E 3.0 x8 and IPMI for robust node fail-over support
