These were technically the first multi-GPU chipsets (16x + 4x). But do later Nvidia drivers disable SLI on non-Nvidia chipsets?

That should work - AFAIK, Nvidia SLI is not tied to Nvidia motherboard chipsets, then or now, and I'm not aware of their drivers artificially locking it out on hardware where it should otherwise work. They do lock out things like PCI passthrough for virtualization unless you're using a Quadro, though.

Alas, I'm down to emulation.
It used to be that nVidia drivers looked for a certificate inside the ACPI tables. If your motherboard didn't have this certificate, then SLI wouldn't work. But you could hack your BIOS's ACPI tables (the DSDT) to add the needed certificate. I did this to my MSI P45 Platinum to get a pair of 9500s in SLI. It worked perfectly.
So what exactly is this certificate I need to add?
Also, are dual Xeon E7525's worth getting? Right now there's a whole bunch of Supermicro workstation boards really cheap (<$35 shipped).
