Keep in mind that if this is your main server, you WILL be rebooting it often to maintain up-to-date security fixes. So boot times matter more than one might first think.
No, see, my main server reboots at night periodically by itself, as security updates are released. Reboots are "frequent" in that sense, but unnoticeable. Also, 70% of updates these days do not require reboot, I notice.
It's not the "boot Win10" or whatever time that matters, but rather how long it takes the BIOS to load the first stage of the O/S and pass control to it.
I did not refer to the OS boot time, but the boot time up to the point the OS is up and running, which is what you were asking, right?
The video I shared above shows boot time since the power button is pressed, so including POST and all. If video is accurate, POST is significantly faster than any full size HP Proliant server I've ever seen.
