I would say there doesn't have to be a cushion. We have boxes that run all day at 100% CPU and if the boxes can meet the performance requirements set forth by the buisness, then it just means we are not wasting any funds on hardware that is just sitting idle.
Here is a good senario, lets say I add one cpu to the machine that is running at 100% all day thus effectively doubling the cpu resources. Now I see 50% idle vs 100% idle CPU. This may be bad, because this may mean that I just wasted money on a CPU. Now other resources such as memory or I/O are now to slow for that much CPU.
It can also go the other way, you might still see 100% CPU, but that means that you never had enough CPU to utilize the memory and I/O anyhow. See there is a balance.
You do have alot of processes running and even sleeping processes use resources so I would not be too worried about this unless there are performance issues, than I would make sure that when adding more CPU I have suffecient memory and I/O to utilize the CPU.
Obviously there is alot more to it than this, such as what the processes running are doing etc. and might not apply to you, but it is something to think about.

plack::middleware::recursive
Plack::Middleware::Recursive(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Plack::Middleware::Recursive(3pm)
NAME
Plack::Middleware::Recursive - Allows PSGI apps to include or forward requests recursively
SYNOPSIS
# with Builder
enable "Recursive";
# in apps
my $res = $env->{'plack.recursive.include'}->("/new_path");
# Or, use exceptions
my $app = sub {
# ...
Plack::Recursive::ForwardRequest->throw("/new_path");
};
DESCRIPTION
Plack::Middleware::Recursive allows PSGI applications to recursively include or forward requests to other paths. Applications can make use
of callbacks stored in "$env->{'plack.recursive.include'}" to include another path to get the response (whether it's an array ref or a code
ref depending on your application), or throw an exception Plack::Recursive::ForwardRequest anywhere in the code to forward the current
request (i.e. abort the current and redo the request).
EXCEPTIONS
This middleware passes through unknown exceptions to the outside middleware stack, so if you use this middleware with other exception
handlers such as Plack::Middleware::StackTrace or Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, be sure to wrap this so Plack::Middleware::Recursive
gets as inner as possible.
