It sounds like they have a top-down directive to use Ubuntu.

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! https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1879 However its o my going to work on rhel 10 or anything that has very very up to date DNF version.

Why not server? Because of stability? I use Arch as my main server for 5 years or so and never had any issues. I just update when I think about it.
