All due respect to Privex and people that use them, but it's concerning to me on their home page they are offering pre-packaged witness nodes. It begs the question: how many people such as yourself are using them?

A lot
Almost scared to ask, but... How many in the upper ranks?
I am not 100% sure but I would guess half.
Ironically this is the blockchain I've spent the least amount of technical time on. I'm assuming I could spin up a node and run a tcpdump on it and figure out all the IPs. Is it like other blockchains where there are a few pre-coded seed nodes and it just discovers the rest?
Yes. There is a seed node list which are usually not witness nodes. Technically you can get started with only one and pick up the others.
