Why not? Assuming your servers are not all at or near full load at all times, you can put some to sleep as warm spares.

Asking myself the same question, but IME Linux support for sleep states is (was?) generally horrible due to absolute lack of standard enforcement, and that's with laptops where it's a priority. I've only had one laptop (my most recent one) work 100% with sleep states, and only after replacing the NVMe that froze roughly 33% of the wake ups due to some obscure bug (but worked fine otherwise)

Maybe lucky, but haven’t had trouble with Linux and sleep for about 15 years. Dell and Framework.

I have a Dell latitude and dell precision laptops. Both have awful support for sleep. The latitude I had to use an LTS kernel to make it work 90% of the time, the other 10% it just wakes up randomly after closing the lid. The precision will wake itself up instantly after putting it into sleep due to a bug with the dedicated NVIDEA GPU

I bought the “developer” edition, that may have helped.
