If bandwidth wasn't a limiting factor would it be worth it or still make sense to use big machines onsite?

If bandwidth wasn't a factor, the first rearchitecture that I think would make sense is to do most of the processing in a single datacenter somewhere. Having one datacenter in West Virginia, one in South Africa, one in New Mexico, one in the California mountains, it introduces a lot of overhead. The systems naturally drift their configurations over time, and nothing is quite as "write once run everywhere" as you'd like.
