Dude... It's the hundredth time you've posted this copypasta.
Image-based OSs aren't locked down and also don't depend on proprietary services.
You can just read my post I made about immutable systems, maybe we can discuss it there.
But, I wouldn't choose a image based OS right now too for servers. At least yet.
I'm just afraid about compatibility, because many installers and services might rely on access to the root file system for now. Debian is right now the best choice as server OS, but that might change in the future.
I'm sure we've been over this. It's just a question of time until those solutions become unmanageable at scale and for the more professional users and then a magic proprietary solution that fixes it all will appear. Exactly the same that happened with Docker/DockerHub/Kubernetes.
Use BRTFS/ZFS snapshots to rollback if anything breaks. Either way you can use LXD/LXC as containers to run your stuff that are easy to setup and will resolve the root filesystem issue.
