I honestly feel like this post is a plant -- it’s far too perfect. You’ve captured the exact 'cattle vs. pets' tension that kept some of my services on Linux for a long time, even when I really wanted them on FreeBSD.
Truth be told, I built daemonless.io because I'm bored to death of system administration. I love the FreeBSD kingdom, but I have zero desire to spend my life hand-cranking /etc files or manually patching 'pets' every time they drift.
The 'Jailer’s Trap' you mentioned is real; the second you jexec in to tweak a config, you’ve lost the battle for reproducibility. By bringing OCI-native immutability to Jails, you get that 'cattle' workflow—Podman-friendly, layered images, and reproducible environments—without leaving the kernel we actually want to live in.
