But, the NEXT step is to consolidate my current workstations into
a single (?) box and virtualize all of the prior machines (knowing
that the VMs will obviously fit on the media that held the original
images -- just relocate them to the SAN).

 This seems to be a popular approach for people who are putting
together a "home lab" and running a bunch of different services.

Yes, but those *tend* to be folks doing web development, etc.
I deliberately asked, here, as the types of tools used *here*
may suffer problems with this approach (witness Sergey's
comment that Altium doesn't seem to run).
It's a lot of work to build VMs for all of this stuff AND VERIFY
THE APPS IN EACH!  So, I was hoping for a "heads up" as to the types
of things that were not going to like this.

The virtualization approaches range anywhere from simple
Linux containers, to full hypervisor-level virtualization.
 Proxmox appears to be the most popular home-lab virtualization
manager.
