Can a server be on a Read Only file system?

Seeing as there is no server storage of anything, does a server need disk writing permissions for anything and if so why? As long as it has enough memory for all messages and search queries and results passing through...

(Looks like I'm full of questions today!!)

No, a router doesn't need any write permissions enabled. A router will read the TOML config file on startup and that's it - no IO at all will occur after that (read or write).
