If you're getting the "do it by hand" answer, you're asking in the wrong places.
Ansible, SaltStack, all the devops automation stuff is available and can certainly handle "freebsd-update fetch; freebsd-update install; reboot".

either that or "don't do an upgrade, build new ones and replace the old ones instead"

If by any chance it was related to sound, today is your lucky day as I just solved that this morning before work.
This is the principal reason why I've leaned toward Debian stable (which also aims at being a stable UNIX like FreeBSD) for decades, even though Debian has also been infected with systemd and has made other questionable decisions. Alternatively, I've also had good luck with Void, Alpine, and Artix. (I've had difficulties with electron apps on Void desktop, but it runs flawlessly on servers.)
