My experience totally reflects this. Most enterprise IT infrastructure is idle the majority of the time.
I'm running infrastructure for a SaaS app in k8s. I feel like I'm doing well sustaining >50% efficiency, i.e. all cores running >50% all the time and more than half the memory consumed for things that aren't page cache. Hard to get better efficiency without creating hot spots.
