It is certainly technically possible but would likely be a nightmare to manage...
ZOOM would be a much simpler solution and require much less bandwidth.

Just my thoughts.

Mavik. In order to ingest remote guests, would they each need an srt encoder?

The real question is why you would want to do that many? It would be a nightmare assigning cross vMix mix minus audio, return video signals and basically, managing that many guests. Let zoom or Skype do it for you. You can add another 15 of your own computers to the conference for pinning speakers and sending ppt and playback content back to the participants if you wanted to. That being said, I did a 10 person conference with 2 vmix stations...actually a 3rd for sending vCall multiviewers back to an off site director and producer. One vmix machine handled a green room of 6 guests that were part of a panel discussion. They were added to the main vmix containing 4 main speakers over NDI. I cheated a bit by using a tricaster to generate custom DSM return boxes of ppt, timer, notes and playback back to currently on air talent and next up talent.

You should use an extra bus for just the callers.
Master M = recording/streaming
Bus A = Zoom
Bus B = vMixCall

then select bus B to feed into every vmixcaller.

Another but paid option is to use something like medialooks VT. There you can have plenty remote users as well and they have auto mix-minus build in. And of corse SRT or alternatively webRTC.

The bus config has to be made on the vmix that is ingesting all the signals. The remote users just have to open vmixcall.

On PC1 you need a mix minus for the PC2 so they hear everything except themself.
