Gets better PSU. Dual PSU systems are a mess to run

The other end of that PSU is just a slot as its made to work in specific servers. Do you have a breakout board to expand and give you the proper ports?

No? A good PSU (rm750x) would be plenty, and it should be about 120-130. But dual psus are hard to fit in a case that's not designed for it

I feel like that's asking for trouble.

That PSU may not have a standard pinout for power, and putting just any breakout board on it, may result in lots of magic smoke being released.

You miss my point, if the pinout for the power supply is non-standard (and some server power supplies are like that) you risk burning out all your components

You'd have to get a voltmeter and test the pinouts, or contact HP and ask them (and hope they tell you the truth) or simply don't use a bespoke server-oriented PSU, and use a standard one instead.
