Well, it depends. State on CLI is not necessarily much more availible. For example, when looking at a vim window, it is not immediately clear whether you're at: (1) vim edit mode, (2) vim regular mode (3) selecting something with screen, where your keyboard are now not even sent to the vim window.

Assuming your farm is a production one, suspend to disk is rather rare, and by design, would probably not be a day-to-day process of the system. Anyhow - suspend to disk is an operation which is being performed on NFS SR as well, just the same (create file which contains memory dump of the VM).
