No we haven't - not even remotely. At a rough count we'd need at least
another 17 servers (based on the current number of VMs), and we'd lose
the ability to move services between hardware quickly and easily. Oh,
and we'd have the management headache of dealing with a bunch more
hosting providers, as I doubt the current ones will give us that many
boxes.
