That'd be very inefficient usage of compute. Memory access now has network latency, cache locality doesn't exist, processes don't work. You're basically subverting how computers fundamentally work today. There's no benefit.

I know Kubernetes and containers has everyone thinking servers don't matter but we should have less virtualization, not more. Redundancy and virtualization are not the same thing.
