On the other hand, most people seem never to touch hot upgrades, even in Erlang, preferring the traditional rolling update across a cluster of machines. A lot of libraries aren't built for it either.

Yes, hot upgrades sound incredible but the other advantages of docker seem to outweigh them. There is no reason you can't write a script to download the release and do the hotupdate but it feels like you are treating your containers as mutable then which is frowned upon.
