Be interesting to have at least a few benchmarks to see if cutting so much of the regular distro code actually has a positive impact beyond the idea of it being more reliable. And that last bit does seem to remain an idea rather than a reality in that quite a lot of regular userland code (systemd comes to mind) helps stabilise a running linux box over time in a very real way. Personal exp incl having several headless Ubuntu boxes run for more than a year with zero issues despite being saddled with typical server lamp server stack.

All up for trying this though and can definitely see real bonus in terms of less resource use within Pi envs!
