Sacrificing some convenience? Probably. But POSIX shell and coreutils is the last truly stable interface. After ~12 years of doing this I got sick of tool churn.

Same. Why add the complexity of docker/kubernetes/?

FreeBSD and jails is so easy to maintain its unbelievable.

Not just stable - also easy to understand when, if ever, something goes wrong. There's very little magic, very little layers of complexity.
