Good looking nursey! That is quite a job!!
Our @Drdawg grows a lot from flask.
I have only done it once, just to see if I could. Out of ca 30 Paph babies I wound up with 2 plants and one of them bloomed once. I still have the Paphs, hoping for a rebloom. I think my biggest problem was the birds!! I had moved the babies outside that year, as I always do in Spring with all my plants, and I hadn't counted on birds loving the Sphag for nest -building. ( Small birds can fly through my cage). It put a bit of stress on those seedlings, to be scattered about.

Nowadays I do like to see blooming size in whatever I pick up, simply I would like to see them blooming in my life-timeā€¦. Whistling

Yes, I see the Stanhopea there. Good idea, since after a few years many will engulf what ever they were planted in, anyway. And the spike won't have to fight through anything to emerge.
