Advice on replicating Hyper-V server image

ayi

What would be some recommendations for replicating a Windows Server 2019 system image that also contains a couple of Hyper V VMs?

I have several identical new Dell Edge servers to set up. Setup consists of configuring local users and group policies, installing application software, creating 2 Windows Server 2019 VMs and setting up all of their configuration as well. Active Directory will (probably) not be used.

What's the best way to efficiently replicate the system configuration to the remaining servers once the first one is fully set up and tested?

As mentioned, Failover Cluster would be the easiest way to do it. However, I would recommend you to build it with Active Directory available in your infrastructure. As for shared storage you can use either S2D or alternatives such as StarWind VSAN.

Another option is to use Hyper-V Replica to replicate your VMs from one server to another. It doesn't requires shared storage just replicates VMs on schedule.
