>Most commercial DCs only let you use up to about 10kW per rack.

I think that was the case in 2020;

>By 2020, that was up to 8–10 kW per rack. Note, though, that two-thirds of U.S. data centers surveyed said that they were already experiencing peak demands in the 16–20 kW per rack range. The latest numbers from 2022 show 10% of data centers reporting rack densities of 20–29 kW per rack, 7% at 30–39 kW per rack, 3% at 40–49 kW per rack and 5% at 50 kW or greater.

We dont have 2023 numbers and we are coming to 2024. But it is clear that demands for high power density is growing. ( And hopefully at a much faster pace )
