Sidero relies also on IPMI feature to force reboot the node to perform node decomissioning which might be something missing with WOL.
Yeah, you'd need to rely on ACPI shutdown/reboot actually working in that scenario, not all functionality of IPMI would be covered of course. It would still be an improvement to not being able to trigger a boot remotely at all, as it is currently the case.
I would also be interested in this feature.
My use case is home lab where I run 10+ ARM boards in a cluster. Having nodes on standby (instead of idle/rebooting) would be a great benefit in using Sidero in my case.
Another option to get a server that's currently shut down back up next to IPMI (and others, see #221 #289) would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN
Not fit for all use cases (it has its limitations), but WOL could be useful for home lab environments and/or consumer hardware that doesn't contain a dedicated BMC.
