Agreed, and my own numbers kind of prove it: 13% average CPU across 80 threads. The big GPU is the only reason I'm not on mini PCs. I'm actually looking at one for the lightweight containers so the R730s aren't idling for them.

Honestly this is the right setup for most people. 40-55W for all of that is great. My rack averages about 430W. If I didn't want a 16GB GPU for local LLMs and transcoding I'd be a lot closer to what you're running. Also, a 3D printed blinkenlights case for a Mac Studio is a fantastic idea.
