I have a similar setup at home. I have a dozen or so boot drives with various OSes on them that I can throw into my primary server. Mostly Linux Distros, BSD and a single Windows SSD for gaming (yeah, I know...). In my case I have a couple of non-SSD drives in this server that are data only. That way, I know which drive is the boot drive.
What I don't get is why you would have such a setup in your lab. It seems to be way more complicated than it needs to be. Granted, I have no idea what your lab is for, but I'd never have movable boot drive and a static one in the same system. However, if I did, I'd make the hostnames unique. To me that would be simpler than mucking the UUIDs of the drives.
