In my experience, most people who work with mysql would not enable automated failover. And I believe the concerns in the article are valid and important if considering a container for mysql.
Edit: Though I do think it conflates containers and things like kubernetes or mesos in an awkward way. The good arguments are more about running relational dbs in containers on some sort of cluster orchestration system.
