You don’t need it to run, but running is not operating a service. Observability and debugability of unikernels is abysmal. I need Linux not for BEAM, node or Python; I need it for strace.

I thought we're talking about true serverless. I don't believe Lambda lets you use strace?
And Erlang/BEAM that I've used as an example has its own tracing and debugging facilities. (I don't think it has proper multi-tenancy though so it's not like someone can just use it for cloud as it is, but I've just picked it as a closest example to what I think serverless should look like.)
Or you're talking about this from node/server admin perspective? Then, yeah, sure, but unless you're a cloud engineer it's not your business - that's Amazon/Google/Microsoft's problems.
