Very personal opinion, but I think the image is overcomplicated. Fedora base + systemd + sshd + application? This can surely be smushed down to being a go-krazy image. I guess then, you'd have to rewrite in go, and device support would be an issue

There's more files yes, but I don't agree that it's more complicated because those files come together in the form of some well understood components that almost anyone who's done a bit of Linux admin understands to a reasonable degree, whereas your hypothetical Go application is going to end up being a completely custom implementation of NVMe-TCP, and if there's any problems with it you're on your own.
He wrote systemd, so it might be simpler for him.
I'm aware. :)
