It doesn't really reduce management costs in the long run because the technical resource pool is so limited. If something goes wrong and you are not around to fix it, virtually no one else knows how to work on it. Sort of like a web designer who codes in Ruby, Coldfusion or Django. Bad idea. Unlike Linux or Windows, for macOS Server there is no help available.
Dunno about that. I trained a non-IT person in about 20 minutes how to deal with a few issues with our mini/Server so I wouldn't have to screen share in to deal with it, or if I was asleep or whatever. I stopped getting calls every time something went wrong, right away.
