I run a pretty big VDI environment — my observation is that the the latest gen stuff on Xeon is about the same as the Haswell era gear, and slower for some use cases.
We’re actually planning on running that gear longer and moving people with more memory needs to newer gear with more memory — it’s all about the maintenance cost curve. We can get much more memory now with the same density, which offsets the CPU suckage.

No, we’re blessed with lots and lots of network capacity. It’s possible to have a peak demand that would saturate one of the fabrics, but our usage patterns allow us to avoid that.
