OK. That means I will have to first spend some time learning more
about this. I can do the soldering, if I know exactly (or find out)
what has to be soldered to what.

This will certainly help. Thanks.

I strongly hope some people do that. People working on
laptops/desktops and phones, but not seemingly on servers. It may not
be for a data centre, but at least some personal website.

If I am able to get the hardware and set it up, I can do some routine
part of the work that is not too technical in the sense of knowing the
internal details of TPM or OS kernel etc., with some help, if that can
reduce the effort required.

Not really. At most I can buy one.
