Though I have to wonder.... would these be good gaming systems? Are there any scenarios where the perks (stupid numbers of cores, 8-channel memory, 128 PCI-E lanes, etc) would help?

Not really. Gaming is bound to latency and rendering, not scale nor bandwidth. Memory and IO usage is pretty constant while the game is running.

Not many games are written to scale out that far. I remember Ashes of the Singularity was used to showcase Ryzen CPUs though.
