I'm currently running a separate box that has the manager and proxies on
it, but I did just as you describe at one point and it seemed to work
fairly well. You may want to reduce your worker count a bit to leave
enough CPUs for the proxies. Out of curiosity are you pinning your
workers to dedicated CPU cores? If you are not it could be that your
workers are bouncing between cores due to hyper-threading which can
cause them to stomp all over each other. I found pinning workers to
cores helped tremendously when it came to worker health.
