On the contrary. Persistent memory means that infinite uptime is the future. Which, as you note, is difficult. Resetting the OS every now and then to a known state is a good practice, although disruptive to a lot of workflows.

If anything, I consider your post to be an argument AGAINST persistent memory.

Persistent memory might enable those sorts of uptimes, but it doesn't inherently mandate it.
