This will work. You will want a larger power supply.
For best price/performance for large parallel workloads, you may
be better off with an AMD ThreadRipper or EPYC system.
The Intel CPU has a list price of $1800 US.
An AMD TR4 2990WX is 32 cores / 64 threads at 3 GHz, and has a
list price of $1200 US. It performs better and costs
significantly less.
An AMD TR4 3970X is 32c / 64 t at 3.7 GHz, matches the list
price of the Intel and will perform much, much better.
Either of them will need a TR4 motherboard, and Supermicro
currently doesn't offer those. All of them should work well with
Debian.
