At 10k per day it is absolutely worth it to hire someone to take care of a bunch of cheap servers.

Servers with GPU's are not going to be cheap :)

Servers are a CapEx purchase, and can be depreciated or re-purposed.

10k/day makes sense for a short project, but if this is going to be an on-going thing -- like 2-3 years -- then absolutely buy that hardware and have an internal team run it.
