Maybe so, but even then a second-hand blade server is more cost-effective than a Raspi Cluster.

Not if you run it idle a lot; most commercial blade servers suck down a lot of power. I think a niche where Pi blades can work is for a learning cluster, like in schools for HPC learning, network automation, etc.
It's definitely not suited for production, but there, you won't find old blade servers either (for the power to performance issue).
