Not quite sure what you mean by "hardware agnostic OS and software"...wouldn't each OS have to be just as aware of the hardware it's running on and the software running on it?

I could see people using VM Servers in a production enviroment, mostly because you now have a hardware agnostic OS and software install. So while you see 1 point of failure, someone else sees a way to easily move their production server to new hardware if their old hardware fails. Even if you only run one server on the VM server you could still get the benefit of the hardware agnostic OS. Each VM or Microsoft Virtual Server run as though it were a machine on the OS. So you wouldn't need to cluster the VM, you can run clustering as though they were different machines. I don't know if there is a clustering options for the VMWare or Microsoft, not sure if it's even needed.
