is it possible to make instances that are, by definition, not important? if the cluster needs the resources, for example during an failover migration, it can suspend or kill them? maybe send an alert, and/or kill bring them back up when the resources are available again?

i think this is better use of hardware than making a whole other cluster dedicated to testing. this could also be a way to "nice" long running processes like rendering movies.
