What is the limitation which requires console access to manage these
systems? Can you not perform day-by-day management over ssh? You may not
need a KVM at all.

We ditched our server room KVMs a long time ago in favor of a "crash cart."
Most everything can be managed remotely, but on the rare chance
console access is required, we have an old keyboard, monitor, and mouse on
standby.
