Hi,I just saw this thread right now. I do not have the time tight now to read the whole thread, so, sorry if I am missing / describing something already discussed.
I also created a plain bash code to handle power saving on our cluster many years ago on SGE.

We had tried engineering our custom "green cluster" automation with Grid Engine years ago where we would shutdown idle nodes until they were needed, but doing it independently of the resource manager was far too complicated for us to maintain, especially since it was all cost and no benefit for us with our power and cooling charges being absorbed through a flat overhead rate.
However after a big code update on SVN (before this git repo), the code did not work as expected and I decided to let that code as it was. It was also too hard to maintain for me, even if it is not really very complicated.
The main idea is to setup an availability level for a cluster. Let's say you may want 100% of active nodes + X nodes doing nothing that are ready to receive jobs + Y nodes poweroff (nowadays I would choose hibernate instead). That is the availabity level. You may decide what nodes should be started first, how many nodes you need to boot at a time, what queue to exclude...
I think all this stuff is already present SLURM, and pretty well integrated.About suspend/hibernate, Ubuntu does this by default from Focal with systemd Units sleep.target, suspend.target, hibernate.target, hybrid-sleep.target (if you have a desktop env, even Gnome has some hibernate functions (see org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power...).
