You joke, but heat does rise and a tall building would need to make extra concessions for cooling concerns, while also dealing with the issues if weight. Large racks of servers are actually quite heavy, which is why many datacenters in i.e Toronto were built in an ex parking garage

Heat is no issue of relevance for the question. The rising effect it negligible compared to what has to be transported anyway
How many high-rise libraries do you see? Weight is absolutely a factor in data center design, as is airflow/heat
4 story libraries are common in my area.
