There's one extra process that takes up a tiny bit of CPU and memory. For that, you get an immutable host, simple configuration, a minimal SBOM, a distributable set of your dependencies, x-platform for dev, etc.

Yes but NixOS does all of these things already, without the process overhead

Even the minimal SBOM part? It's hard to be more minimal than a busybox binary.

		That’s fair, NixOS avoids the direct stuff from Docker itself but if you’re basing on an Alpine image or something that would probably be more minimal / smaller
