Is there a reason you aren’t using standard enterprise stuff?
I think you will quickly find that a lot of those pieces of software aren’t scalable

Of the business grows tenfold, is still only 120 people. They can’t handle that in a gaming rig?

Depends on the workload, really. 120 users using small services? probably. 120 users sharing large files or bandwidth heavy stuff? Doubt it. Also a lot of enterprise hardware is about reliability. Multiple PSUs, NICs, more robust hardware for constant load/network traffic, etc.
Sure, a gaming rig can handle it until it can’t. Another question is what happens when the box crashes? Is the business down until a new PC is built and restored from backups?
A small business can probably afford two PCs, but scaling up and up eventually becomes a lot of trouble and space.
