I imagine you wouldn't attach a display to your home server. Would the display engine draw any power in that case?

For the past decade my home server is also my desktop workstation. According to canon people shouldn't do this because the workstation might crash or be updated more frequently or create conflicting resource usage, but with containers it's never been a problem for me and lets me have one more capable computer (with dGPU) essentially for each purpose, rather than managing two systems, one of which I only use for ~20 hours a week (I usually use my laptop). However I definitely would like it to use as little power when in low processing states.
Is a PiKVM considered a display? I've got one attached to my home server. Alongside the dedicated graphics card, it probably uses more power than usual server motherboard KVMs, but it's still cheaper and accessible for home servers.
