If you own the entire datacenter (like I'm sure Google does in most scenarios) and you're having racks compromised, then you probably have much larger issues that crypto won't solve.

Datacenters aren't poofed into existence. The networking hardware could be compromised at the factory, which would compromise the datacenter's network security without compromising its physical security or any of the servers.
By that logic, the networking hardware on the NIC could be compromised as well, giving an attacker DMA capabilities on a server, too.
