Is there any gain or loss if I install Hyper-V server on the main array?
Not from a performance perspective. Uses a small amount of storage and makes the system a little less flexible.

Or, you know, put in the right sized SD cards. That it came with 8GB isn't a factor.

Yup, it is 32GB.

Right now we are about 1.5TB in. So in 5 years we may hit the 4TB mark. Just want to make sure that I have a good understanding on this.
You can always do a one time "grow" by taking a backup and moving to bigger drives. Even today you can hit 8TB with a single drive pair. So you have tons of head room.
And a few years from now you would likely replace the server, not increase storage. Growing storage always sounds better than the reality is when the time comes.
You can say that again.
I'm currently using around 1.2 TB on my VM host - but I've been looking at actual real business use data - it's around 50 GB. The rest are things like WSUS, and the tons of ISOs, drivers, system images, etc that I have.
I'm in the process of pulling all of that stuff out of my VM setup and into a 2 drive NAS.

Adding @KOOLER and @StarWind_Software
For lab use it's possible to chunk out one physical LAN with vLANs and make a pseudo-supported config. Something you absolutely don't want to do in production! Later this year we'll release dynamic quorum thing so it would be possible to use single LAN between hosts.

So the question is in the title.. Can I use Starwind with Hyper-v 2012 R2 core? The core edition is command line base and doesn't has any GUI so I don't know how to manage Starwind nor install it. What's your thought on this?

You don't install GUI on Core / free Hyper-V / Nano you do only server app (it will also install set of drivers but that's still no GUI thing). GUI will run on a separate mgmt box.

Can you PM me some details about this? I'd love to run my Lab Starwind in HA mode, but I can't right now since the machines only have one physical NIC.

What kind of PM you want? How to chunk physical LAN into two vLANs? It's not really StarWind thing and there's nothing private there

Then you move AS IS.

Something along those lines... 8-)
