Tbh I worked on a campus where we had total free access to our bays in the local DC (like 5 minutes away by car), even in the dead of night we just had to make a call to not get stopped at the door, and even then IPMI is still just so much more convenient than sitting on the floor with your laptop, a VGA screen and PS2 keyboard among your tools in a loud DC with mandatory earplugs and an eye on the nitrogen fire supression that really has no reason to trigger but it could and that is terrifying.
Or you could have IPMI and be sat at your desk with coffee and listening to music. Your choice really, I wonder why iLO licenses are so expensive :P
I have a spare Pi4 sitting around the house that I could pretty cheaply turn into a PiKVM. Looks like there are some slick hats to install into a PCI-E slot so I don't have a Pi and a bunch of wires hanging out in the chassis. Looks like I'll be going that route. Just need to figure out how to power it (they all seem to require external 5v or POE).
Consumer motherboards have some USB ports that have standby power @2A. Or the power supply has a 5vsb rail as well, that's where that comes from.
