I'm guessing you use WipeOS to more easily handle securely erasing disks. Could you have iVentoy host WipeOS to simplify the setup?

Yes, but then you need to select the proper menu option at boot time. Sometimes just moving the hardware stack one to the left and swapping the cables is quicker.

Yes, WipeOS does secure erasing, and can do some mild diagnostic tests (something like MemTest86, but not as extensive). WipeOS can format a bootable USB drive to boot WipeOS if PXE doesn't work for whatever reason (BIOS doesn't support it, bug with NIC, etc). It should be possible to create an ISO from said USB drive, but I'm the only one who uses iVentoy. I haven't made that ISO because I don't mind swapping the ethernet cable during the ~10 seconds it takes to reboot.
