It's cool but we run Linux in VMs. The VMs can complete a reboot in less than 20s. It's fast enough that it doesn't register on uptime monitors. Live patching adds complexity for not a lot of benefit.

Not to mention that if you're trying to be rebootless you have to worry about running services holding old versions of libraries in memory. Sure there's checkrestart/needrestart, but when reboots are so fast it doesn't matter much.
