Hello, I'm the author of the post.
These are all good points, I should have made my goals clearer. I do not use it as a web development machine or something that needs to be always on.
I use it as an occasional machine, to compile and test stuff that's not working or unavailable under OSX. I was looking for a powerful and cheap VPS (which is uncommon) when I figured I'd be better served by a headless VM.
Another big plus for me is having access to it when there's no connectivity.
