Your applications don't do linear algebra or FFT? AVX-512 is overrated for HPC generally, but it's surely going to be used by an optimized BLAS (unless there's only one FMA unit per core if the implementation is careful).
Compute nodes actually should have a big.little structure with a service core for the batch daemon etc.
Elsewhere, I see ~130 AVX512 instructions in this Debian system's libc.
