What is the physical NIC setup in ESXi? If you have two vSwitches assigned to two separate NIC pairs, then you just need to do the same with Hyper-V: 2 SET switches each using a pair of NICs. You'll need to create a virtual NIC on the SET switch and give it an IP address to the host for Veeam to be able to assign network priority for backups.
As far as "best practice" for isolating traffic (management, storage, backup, VM traffic), it's really environment dependent. We have management, backup and VM traffic all share a single pair of 25Gbps NICs with a SET switch. There is no need to isolate traffic on different physical NICs unless you need more bandwidth than a single pair can provide. And even then, you could have a single SET switch with 4 NICs attached.
