This is such a terrible idea.

When looking at log files you need to know which node is having a problem. It's also helpful to know what environment was responsible for a security alert at a glance. It's also helpful to know if the instance that is running is the same one that had the incident, or whether it's a brand new node and the old one is gone.

Naming servers the same name loses a ton of valuable information and provides almost no benefit. It is just inviting people to make mistakes, and creating a nightmare for your noc/soc and siem response teams.
