I do agree with your stress testing but we understand and do the analysis for MSA only in this forum. So application level or OS level testing only Microsoft expert can help you.
If you downgrade to ESX6.5 and use with MSA2040 then kindly follow the instruction that I have suggested, this will help you for sure when you use this MSA for production.
If you still look for more information then kindly mention the same so that MSA experts can help you or else you can close this forum as of now.
Hope this helps!
