I'm not affiliated with Oxide but I don't think you can put Crucible and VPC/OPTE in firmware. Without a DPU those components have to run in the hypervisor.

But I do wonder why cloud and cloud-like systems aren’t more aggressive about splitting the infrastructure and tenant portions of each server into different pieces of hardware, e.g. DPU. A DPU could look DPU could look like a PCIe target exposing NVMe and a NIC, for example. Obviously this would be an even more custom design than Oxide currently has, but Oxide doesn’t seem particularly shy about such things.
