Boot Proliant DL from HPE 32GB microSD RAID 1 USB OK?

I'm planning to order some Proliant DL360 servers with no Storage Controller card (PCIe or LOM) so it uses the default onboard controller: SR100i SW RAID (P28417-B21). 

The idea is to boot ESXi 7.0 from HPE 32GB microSD RAID 1 USB that I assume would be using the onboard controller, and get 2 MSA 2062 as external ISCSI storage.

I read this configuration is supported, however HP OCS complains as follows:

HPE Smart Array SR100i Gen10 Plus Software RAID only supports Windows and does not support Linux or VMware on Gen10 Plus servers. (Controller State)

Soo...I'm a little hessitant. Is this config rigth or recommended. Shoul I add a storage controller?

Thnx
