That’s called unnecessary overkill and you’ll introduce failures from excess complexity.

Actually they are a reduction in complexity, yes I am not using most of the features, they run in L2, but their backbone runs off a x86 single board computer and they run a mostly hardware agnostic OS (Sonic).
This is what I mean by a reduction in complexity, it’s basically running debian os with pcie switchdev interfaces on a PC. It’s familiar and stable, not locked in to proprietary hardware, they’re cheap and plentiful
