I'm not a fan of using Alpine in containers.

Use it baremetal for your servers and desktops, then use Debian/CentOS containers on top when something is missing.

Sadly when playing the CVE game, Debian containers are no contest to alpine. For CentOS in a container I can see absolutely no reasons except if the SW is only tested against it.
