You could use

qm terminal <ID>

to connect to the serial console. Ctrl + o will quit the session.

You need to configure your VMs to provide a serial console, e.g. by adding "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and running "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".

Is it really that difficult to get a laptop in the server room to manage
the servers?


I know VMs can be controlled by command line using qemu, but is there
another way to locally control the machines on the Proxmox server,
except by installing a desktop manager and pointing the web browser on
localhost:8006? Is it even safe to do that?


Personally I would avoid installing a full Desktop environment on the PVE
hosts. Apart from adding unnecessary load, it can also
expand the attack surface on the servers. If you insist though, I would
recommend a simple Window Manager instead,
something like Fluxbox for example.

We have a KVM in our bay, we can physically access the machines, is
there maybe a way to physically be connected to a VM (as if we were
physically connected to a Windows VM for instance)?


None that I'm aware of, but sounds like you are trying to over complicate
things... :)
