Not just that. Unikernel sounds ok if all your linux server does is run one service that doesn't need anything but tcp/ip, and whose users don't need extra resources. But being able to deploy a new binary and other files through any means (ssh, pipelines, git), having localized log files, etc., are more than a convenience. Sure, I could log on another server, run a db on another server, and deploy html/css/js from yet another server, but would that make life easier? And this is just a really simple case. If you have multiple services, you'll need multiple servers with a uni-kernel approach, or build some monster thing. It's horses for courses.
