I'd expect that from the ToR -> Servers would be MMF, but that other
infrastructure cabling would be SMF.
Even using aftermarket optics, putting single-mode transceivers in
every server and access port would quickly become cost-prohibitive,
would it not?

If you are looking to save a buck on the ToR->server connection, why not
just use DAC cables?
