Syscall proxying was very old even when I wrote that article. The problem with syscall proxying is that it is slow. Take any process and imagine adding network latency to every single syscall. On a local network is incredibly slow, but over any sort of real distance it is just impossible.

That’s why I pushed everything to the target system. Run it local as much as possible.

Back then there were no containers or VMs to use. These days I think you should be bringing your environment with you. Unless there are serious reasons not to.
