A rocket is almost entirely fuel some structure and a minuscule amount of payload. If you want to save fuel for for relanding you need to take less payload or accept a lower orbit.
If we look at Falcon 9, the payload to geostationary transfer orbit^* goes from 8,300 kg when expended, to 5,500 kg when landing on a barge or 3,500 kg when landing on the launch site.
* meaning the payload needs an additional stage to enter geostationary orbit
Only if your problem can be be split up reasonably, otherwise you will spend more time waiting for data to move.
Where it can work: video encoding, CI pipelines, data analysis
Where it won’t work: interactive stuff, most single file operations
Then you don’t need another reason to do it.
You can either get a hardware switch or chose a primary computer and connect to the others. For that you can use remote desktop software or be a try hard and use ssh.
