I have never had the need to do that in my two installations. I could have done that but I felt the effort would be worth the time invested. Both were smaller than your shop. 2 DC's, 1 SQL, 1 File, 1 Web/Print, I AV, 1 WSUS, and one SCE was the largest server forest. The AV was Forefront and had a tendency early one to cause a few issues so since I already had a license I put it on it's own box. Later on it was very stable so most likely it was me causing the issues. The SQL I kept separate due to politics in the office and the SCE was totally new to me and I ended up rebuilding the VM multiple times learning how to set it up and run it correctly. Once it was up it was like a rock. I had a total of I think it was 16 GB of RAM 2 Quad cores and 1TB in a RAID 5 for the VM's with about 80 GB for the host in a RAID 1. I think the WSUS and SCE ended up on the same VM in the end.
