The reason why I recommend hosting of chroot images on a separate machine (a machine that does nothing else, apart from being a PXE server) is that when upgrading the chroot you may encounter service restarts during package upgrades that might have an effect on other system components.
Which components are you thinking of? Or just possible apt-get updates?
The strategy has been adopted from a friend of mine who is a Linux service provider for schools in Oslo (Debian Edu context). They mostly roll out diskless workstations there (i.e. systems with NFS-roots) and that originally is their experience.
While I see your poit, I think this solution might be a suggestions, but not in any way recommended. If you don't yet have the appropriate infrastructure using an extra server or VM might backfire badly, as it is yet another server to be taken care of.
Cheers Morty
Ok, I will take that into consideration and adapt the wiki page where needed.
Greets, Mike
