I think it's a decent use-case.

The NFX is just an x86-based platform, with management software that
makes its case, otherwise you get more bang for you buck by buying an
off-the-shelf server from a regular vendor.

Personally, I'd spend the money on a regular server and run vMX there,
but doing so on an NFX will work just as well.
