I wanted to like XCP-NG because it's easy to use, but the limitation of 2 terabytes per VHD was the killer for me. I guess for most VMs you won't need that much storage, but that was a deal breaker.
There may be some way to get around that limitation (which is an inherent issue with XCP-NGs storage stack) or use software RAID in an OS to create arrays of 2 TiB disks, but that's a lot of effort for nothing.
In future you could give it another try they are currently reworking the whole storage API. Also the 2TB limit is the. Supposedly to drop.

But as I said they still need time.
