Wow, all hail MiltownClown, our Self-host mascot. That's some impressive host count! I wouldn't want to manage all that (I'm a documentation fiend, so that just feels like a lot of work).
Great advice, and I'd like to reiterate your ideas about backup and snapshotting. This ability to revert near-instantly is just fantastic, and 90% of the reason I've been running VM's on my laptops for 15+ years.
OP - separate everything into lab and production, starting with your network. Test everything in your lab, then move it to production when you've ironed out the kinks.
