How do you validate that you're on a machine running secure boot? How about when you connect remotely?

That sounds suspiciously like a human problem and not a technical one. In other words, humans configured the server, not a machine.

But, humans forget sometimes... and for that `mokutil --sb-state` will save the day.

I don’t know why I am getting downvoted. We are talking about physical machines that someone had to physically connect hardware to and not a vm that can simply be provisioned via cloud init. Maybe it was pxe booted, but you’d have to really try to get homogeneous hardware.
