The point of the discussion is that if they all wake up at the same

cause alot of storage references.

I think I understood the point, but unless the entire guest was swapped
out, I wouldn't expect it to produce any disk activity if it's not
logging locally.

is a dormant Linux guest entirely dormant? I expect not, I think there
are always daemons checking for timeouts, bits of the kernel running
round checking whether it can reassign unused memory, whether there are
buffers to flush, whether any hardware (including power supply) has
failed yet.
