As someone who designs and builds networks as a profession, I don’t see this being a great idea. Maybe I just don’t have all the facts.

Put a node of compute somewhere and eventually it will become obsolete or unusable due to hardware failure. Not to mention the energy requirements and cooling needed in space. Waste heat does not just dissipate unless it has a heat sink, which adds more volume and mass to the payload!
