What mitigations did you disable, specific ones you know wouldn't be a risk to what the machines were doing (mostly network, mostly kernel space)..? Like, by disabling the mitigations does that leave the servers slightly more open to s

Yes, the big warning disclaimer in that part of the docs is definitely required here. That idea of exec'ing arbitrary obfuscated (compressed) shell code that's easy to copy-paste into a python shell is very helpful, mind. I'v
