Pancake Switchwire?

Hey, somewhat of an oddball question incoming.

I just bought a Voron 2.4RD kit and it hasn't arrived yet, new to Voron but not 3D printing in it's entirety. I'm wondering how best to repurpose my Prusa MK3/4S (I have two) and I think the Switchwire would be perfect for the task - my biggest concern however is that I'm low on desk real estate for more printers. I like the bedslinger design for lower maintenance and upkeep costs, but I'm thinking that I really just need printers that are tall enough that they can print artistic signage and whatever the tallest possible printed part that a Voron needs. Something that maybe used a miniSherpa and didn't necessarily care much about speeds. Just raw 'can it get the job done' while allowing me to recycle my two printers into something I can use 'just in case'?

That way I can enclose them and stack them.

Does anyone here know what the tallest possible part one would have to print for a working 2.4/Switchwire? Is this Switchwire idea feasible? I'd say my 3 biggest 'must-have' factors are recycle/reusability, footprint size, and longevity of the build - my 3 'not-as-important' would be print-flexability, speeds, and I guess future-upgrades. Most of the parts I make lean small and I figure the 2.4 will be there for tall prints.
