I think the idea is tacky because its essential uncreative. The Cardinals stadium works for me because it sort of resembles a cactus or a coiled snake but its not literally an image of one. If you just literally built a giant saguaro, that would look cheesy in my estimation.
Now lets say you had a building that had a roundish shape with accordion like fins like a saguaro, like this (imagine this as a top down view):
with maybe greenish tinted glass would be fine. It would be enough to hint at the shape of a cactus without being so literal.
