That's a lot of effort to put silent piece of silicon few metres away from the machine. iSCSI gotta eat some of your CPU (you're changing "send a request to disk controller and wait" to "do a bunch of work to create packet,send it over the network, and get it back) if you don't have card with offload, it also might kinda not be fast enough to get the most out of NVMe, especially more in RAID0 And, uh, just don't keep anything important there...
