Other than the constant restarts necessary. It’s not that but it does get old fast.

kpatch has been around for like a decade from Red Hat, I think suse has something similar, ubuntu has a Livepatch service.

Who cares about a few reboots? You can reboot a workstation overnight and if you have a single point of failure in your production system the reboot ain't the problem.

That depends entirely on how well your state serializes to disk and restores. If nothing else, I occasionally make the mistake of getting a setup going that would just be a pain to recreate in terms of getting everything open again (too many windows open in a specific arrangement).
