A T5220 machine is stable for me after some patches to the cbus(4)
driver family, which work around issues that look like firwmare bugs
and prevented LDOM guests from working. These fixes will be in 6.3.
It looks like these machines would fit your requirements?
It's essentially one generation up from the T1000.
The firmware versions I am using on my T5220 are:
SP firmware 3.0.12.8.a
SP firmware build number: 108523
SP firmware date: Fri Mar 11 07:19:16 PST 2016
SP filesystem version: 0.1.22
hypervisor_version = Hypervisor 1.10.7.h 2016/03/11 07:13
obp_version = OpenBoot 4.33.6.g 2016/03/11 06:05
post_version = POST 4.33.6.g 2016/03/11 06:15
status = OpenBSD running
sysfw_version = Sun System Firmware 7.4.10.a 2016/03/11 07:45
There is one known outstanding issue with softraid(4) boot inside LDOM
guests, again due to a firmware bug.
This patch probably won't make 6.3 as it potentially affects many machines
and it is too late now to get it tested properly before release:

But softraid(4) boot from physical disks works fine without this patch.
