Since we are using the proxy some users are observing some disconnects of the USB redirection and sometimes mouse and keyboard are not working in the session so that we have to restart the console. Are there some of you also using a proxy and may had the same behaviour and a workaround or fix for this? 

(I suppose you’re talking about standalone remote-viewer client and squid proxy)
I do not recall any issues with proxy. There might be some, but SPICE people would know more, they have a separate list here[1]
Did you make sure network is not the bottleneck?

Did you enable it in the VM configuration? (SPICE file transfer). If so and it still does’t work, again SPICE archive/people might be able to help:)

Is there a way getting the spice video drivers working with this operating systems? The official statement I always read is that there is no official driver at the moment available. 

Indeed it is not ready yet. VMs will work just fine, but remote console access will be slower, there is no 3D support
it may be ok for your purposes…you would have to try

Thanks,
