We use netboot for most desktop computers and servers that are mostly stateless. Any changes are temporary ending up on a dedicated temp partition that gets wiped on boot, or in ram.
Rebuilds are mostly automatic.
Of course, netboot in itself opens new attack vectors where we're in early stages of exploring different approaches, even the painful secure boot crap. Honestly I think most of the security in our case right now comes from being an obscure in-house solution that you'd need to specifically target. Also, in case you do get pwned, a post mortem becomes mostly impossible since once you reboot a machine, everything is gone except stuff on network shares of course.
