Or you know, just 'physical' holograms, because they already have hologram side walls for roads?

I don't see much need for a practice bot thus far; maybe it'll be more widely used in beginner school like Signal but probably not Beacon. To begin with, to fight a Grimm you have to fight, SURPRISE, a Grimm. Once you have your basic Aura unlocked then no matter how newbie you are (see Jaune) you'll be able to deal with one. Against the lowest level Grimm simply swinging your weapon wildly and killing it is a totally legit option.

PvP. Well, this is simple. Unless we're talking about loners, you usually should be able to get far better results training with humans than machines. Again, if it's a beginner's Academy like Signal then yes, even the most basic military android should suffice until the kids can confidently take them down one on one, and then they'll just move on from that phase and almost never come back.

Maybe Atlas Academies may drill their students by having them bombarded by tanks or long range artilieries, but otherwise, again, don't see much use for experienced users to practice against bots...
