Well, I always like doing stuff in software instead of hardware.  Serial
port concentrators are still around and I posted a link to one in your
other thread.  It seems like a reasonable approach too.  Oddly, a quick
web search doesn't find any big cheap serial to ethernet ones, but maybe
you could use USB hubs and FTDI-like cables.

The idea of using an MCU is to move almost everything speed critical
away from the PC.  The MCU only has control the FPGA's and transfer
transfer digested data upwards to the PC.  By having some fanout you
could potentially control 1000s of UUT instead of 80 from a single PC,
without having to build anything special.  It would just mean plugging
some off the shelf boxes together, and writing some code.

You're more comfortable with hardware than I am, so maybe that approach
has less attraction for you than it does for me.
