What is normal % CPU usage for servers? How hot do your servers run?

I joined an infra team (not Microsoft) and our servers that receive fairly simple but high volume CRUD type traffic run at an average of 10-15% CPU with occasional peaks at 60% CPU. We don't have autoscaling so it seems the strategy is to overprovision for peaks.
I don't have enough domain experience to know if this is good or bad and can't find info online.
Are we just wasting tons of money on infra?
