Run native ESXi and VSAN on Nutanix hardware?

[jeffj2000]

I am curious has anyone run native ESXi and VSAN on Nutanix hardware(NX-8150-G10) and G9. 

I am not interested in a supported solution, just a solution where we can re-use a Nutanix cluster we are no longer using for testing.

I believe the hardware is just an x86-64 based server with NVMe drives.  I can't imagine it wouldn't work, as long as there are drivers for the specific hardware.

I built a test vSAN cluster on a trio of older Intel NUC boxes with USB3 5GB NICs for storage and and external drive connected via USB3 for a boot device, so building on unsupported hardware is always possible.
