   or ( Managmend , Edge , Compute ) three cluster on top of  one vsan cluster with two physical hosts and management on witness node (NUC)

2. or build two nested vsan clusters on two physical hosts with one witness node  and install nsx Edge and Compute clusters on top of both vsan clusters and install NSX management on NUC.

You can stick NSX in a single cluster but not really recommended. have you had time to look at the nsx design documents and look for recommended approach?

You need to figure out what you really want to do. if its just testing
