Speaking with respect to non-nuclear builds, this is exactly how the military operates. USS and USNS vessels utilize off the shelf hardware for airgapped systems routinely, though USB device usage is strictly prohibited. In practice however, many unofficial semi-airgapped networks exist Equipment may require specialized software that is not purchased, but licensed and can only be operated by a service technician. The tech brings a preloaded laptop of questionable provenance and initiates a firmware/software update and reboot. Every company is vetted to some degree and employs background investigation, to what effect is hard to determine.
