how does one increase efficiency and reduce IT costs by making
things more complicated
Let me put it this way: I don't mind creating 60 virtual instances to
give each student in a course a server to mess around with. I can wipe
them and reinstall them in a matter of minutes if a student messes up
a server. I would love those servers to be OpenBSD.

Installing 60 physical servers to give the students something to play
with is not fun :(

You could do it just as easy, using netboot. wiping/reinstalling would have to take place only on one server, probably not much more as restoring the exported filesystems or boot images from a previous backup.
