If all that 15 PCIe x16 could be used for CXL at PCIe 5.0 speeds, that'd be just shy of 1TBps of attached memory, and one could hypothetically scale out to whatever size one wanted too.
Samsung dropped a 256GB CXL memory drive quite recently. These numbers should keep climbing and climbing. Very early days still yes. Sure does seem like in-memory will be enough for most users soon.
And CXL 3.0 introduces switching. So multiple servers can connect to the same memory device. Tons of interesting options to revise how things work as that starts to happen. The conventional ideas of networking are kind of silly when you can just have some other computer access the same memory.
