Serious question: How efficient would it be to use low powered devices for a static website, rather than traditional servers?

Load balancing, and scaling (adding more micro controllers) seems like a big win.

Would the energy per request be lower of higher on the low powered devices?

Depends on the content and the amount of clients a mcu could handle at a time. For and arduino using a simple http server (no https) I think you can have up to 5 active connections before it crashes.
