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.
