I'm assuming it's because my VM is hitting the array and maybe the dockers/plex too? I'm clearing a new disk now to expand my cache drive so would moving the VMs and docker images to the cache drive help this? What other things should I move to a dedicated disk?

What other things should I move to a dedicated disk? load averages by themselves are a meaningless figure, simply because its also dependent upon the number of cores in the system If you have a 16 core machine, then a load average of 8 means that you're only running at 50% of capacity On an 8 core, you're running just over 100% capacity. On a single core, then its definitely a high value. If you're not seeing any issues, then I wouldn't worry excessively about it.
