I'm actually the opposite. Run gentoo as my host and toss up a debian lxc if needed. Worst case scenario im running just the kernel and everything else from a container (actually how i typically run when rebuilding a system from start).
I've never run into a situation where an app "couldn't" run in Gentoo. It's just that I've had cases where an app is build for a 8 year old LTS of debian with such old dependencies it wouldn't be worth my time building them all when i can just pull up a container with that super old build. The nice thing is that all the vulnerabilities that old Debian had is now in a container and less of a target.
I swear i must be lucky cuz i do often hear of gentpo fatigue but I've been running it since the project started and never had issues outside the things they legitimately broke.
