Half a petabyte of RAID6 is the biggest line item, then the redundant 40gb networking and compute follow closely. I have a lot… too much even?

does one really need 40gb networking to stream bluerays?
I am (clearly) not as far down the rabbithole as the commenter you're replying to, but almost certainly not. Streaming 4k blueray is on the order or ~100Mb/s, which means on a LAN bog-standard gigabit ethernet and associated networking hardware would be more than sufficient.
This is taking a hobby to its extremes, in much the same way that a $5k boat and $500k boat let you catch the same fish.
It’s about being able to rapidly move files between the arrays and future proofing.
You are totally right, it’s mostly just for backups and transfers to rebalance data.
That’s a lot of blurays…
I found them dumped out in the “street” in a place ordained by law as public domain. So I just grabbed up the media and use it in private.
How many Blurays are we talking about?
