Frankly, always thought about Pi Clusters as a nerd indulgence, something to play, not to do serious work.

I think the only exception is specifically for studying network/communciation-topologies. I've seen a couple clusters (ca. 10-50 Pi's) in universities for both research and teaching.

There are so many network emulators you can use, such as Mininet or GNS3.

I'm sure pedagogically speaking it's better to use physical devices
