You can probsbly ignore the idle power consomuption and enable Wake On LAN and turn it on and of over the network. Is that a solution for you?

one of those pi kvms or the like could turn on any system even if it doesn’t support wake on lan

  Might be the case but is this really a problem to solve? To my knowledge, all modern boards support wol.

With all the helpful comments shared in this thread, I’m starting to realize that this approach is likely the only viable solution.

Previously when doing my research, I was naive enough that when people said “…30W at idle”, it was specifically for their GPU, and not for their whole system. So now things makes a lot more sense.
