Yeah, I think it would. We never fully solved the staggered spinup problem and it probably is too late to invest into proper mechanism for that. I think an easy workaround would be, say, have a kernel param which limits the max number of concurrent async wakeups and set the value to something reasonable - say, 2, which should give us most of benefits of async wakeup in vast majority of cases while avoiding blowing up PSUs on larger setups.
