There are definitely snaps that are useful on servers, like LXD and Nextcloud.
Having them auto update and restart daemon services are not good for servers though.

I disagree. I like having Nextcloud auto-update, even if it results in a service restart. I just schedule that for a time of day that isn't very disruptive. As for LXD, restarting the LXD daemon doesn't effect the containers (they continue running).

It's about having a choice though.
I can understand Canonical pushing for snaps. It's their product and they want it to succeed. That said I hate their dirty ways. I find it even morally wrong. How can "sudo apt install chromium-browser" not install the apt package but install instead a snap? How I, as a user and also as a professional, trust Ubuntu if when I use their package manager I'm being tricked? I don't use Windows for a reason, more than one…
What distro? I use Ubuntu because I just want an OS, not a hobby.

Would Debian be your recommendation for servers as well?
In case you are unsure what the sibling means: Debian is primarily a server OS (one of the best). When people talk about Debian, they mostly think about server use. (That's why your question sounds like a joke :) Or maybe it was a joke?)
I’ve used Ubuntu since the 2000s and never really branched out to explore different distros. I’ve added LWN’s Distributions List [1] to my reading list to lessen my ignorance.

Ugh, no. Manjaro is the no-nonsense "I really don't want to waste time troubleshooting my own shit" version of Arch Linux. I stopped using Arch when I found Manjaro and I'm so glad I did. Arch just requires way too much fiddling for it to ever feel "complete" and or finished.
The cost of Arch over anything else is 100% in the installation. After that, it IS Manjaro except you are using the real thing, not a derivative. I've had to trouble shoot Arch far less than any other distro I've ever used.

See the link in the sibling comment. They don't copy.
No, they've got to meddle and mess with every damn thing to create unnecessary headaches for users.
If you don't like that, use Debian directly. It's a good distro that has stood the test of time.
