@smallemployees there should be no problem running vxlan overlay in pods. But you need to set allowVXLANPacketsFromWorkloads to true in FelixConfiguartion. Please check the docs: https://docs.tigera.io/calico/latest/reference/resources/felixconfig

Please also note that Calico v3.23 is very old, and if you find a bug we won't be able to patch it. So I suggest to upgrade to newer releases.
