Kernel live patching helps to guard against major security and bug issues and is fully automated in RHEL via kpatch.

But is paid, I don't necessarily need livepatching, just auto restarts to update the kernel
Not quite sure which scenario you mean, but both of these work in the official RHEL distro that is free for up to 15 instances:
1. Restart is ok: automatically apply all security updates as they come out ("dnf-automatic), then restart if required ("needs-restarting -r").
2. Restart is not ok: automatically apply all kernel patches as they come out("kpatch auto")
Dnf automatic should support restart now!

However its o my going to work on rhel 10 or anything that has very very up to date DNF version.
