Having dealt with cutting lasers in the past, I can say that maintaining them is a PITA with misalignments, power fluctuations, calibrations, and part replacement. Doing all of that for 30 lasers seems like a huge pain and expensive. Maybe they can resolve some of those issues.

I don't think one of these would survive the night running 24/7 by itself. Never underestimate the destruction of teenagers in rural areas with absolutely nothing to do.
