Just received my ES E5-2630 V4 from China (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-E5-2630-V4-ES-QK3G-2-2Ghz-25MB-L3-10Core-Max-Turbo-85W-14nm-CPU/323878498966?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649) And stuck it in to see if it would work. I only ordered one just in case it didn't, so I wouldn't be out an extra 100$. To my surprise, it appears fully supported. I have HT disabled, but it booted up into Ubuntu showing 10 cores available.
So while YMMV, it looks like Quanta servers work with ES sample processors. I didn't need to the E5-2630V4 for this, since I need 2 processors to use my add-on GPU, so I've ordered 2x E5-2623 V4's instead, and will hang on to this to use for a new K8s cluster build. Enjoy!
