If you are interested, Mark, who did the development to fix this issue, talked about this work on his podcast. That segment start at 11:53 in this episode https://linuxmatters.sh/51/.

Another approach you can take is to turn whatever is going wrong into a PHPUnit test, then you can debug that.
Moodle in English -> Quiz and question banks -> Restricting Quiz Access by IP Address -> Re: Restricting Quiz Access by IP Address

In the moodle admin settings, at Server -> HTTP, there is a setting "Logged IP address source". If you find the right value of that setting for the way your network gateway is set up, then Moodle will 'see' the right IP address.

It is impossible to say with any certainty. Bear in mind that to run a question test on one question, STACK first has to do the initial randomisation and generate the question; then grade ther response; then render any maths in the feedback. And, when a student is working on the question, that will be well spread out in time as they think, it won't all happen in a fraction of a second.
You really need to build confidence in the system gradually. Don't go out and try to run a 200-student exam tomorrow, where everyone starts at the same second and submits at the same second when time expires.
Instead, can you find something like a homework assignment, where students work in there own time, so the load is spread out. If you can do that, an have monitoring of the server CPU / Ram / disc IO / networking, then you will see where you are at in reality (including the effects of things like caching) and how much room you have to grow with your current hardware - but it looks like your current hardware is pretty capable.

As a bit of an update. One of my colleagues has developed the code for MDL-84387, and it is (hopefully) progressing through the review process.
And, I have just done a follow-up issues MDL-84733. This does two things (if accepted).
- It makes more information available to use if you want to use Language customisation to change the contents of the various emails that are sent to users. This is similar to what the Quiz was already doing, which you can see in the docs here: Quiz_submission_email_notification#Potential_strings_to_use_in_an_email.
- Previously, the customisable information from the language string was then combined with some other standard stuff, like a line giving the course and assignment name like "A100 -> Assignment -> Task 01" which you could not change. I have changed that to use a template, so themes are able to customise it if they want.
Hopefully that is sensible.
