But then we can complain about the long start time for each instance or JVM. It is choosing a different trade-off.

start time generally isn't a huge concern for web applications (outside of serverless) since you've got the existing deployment serving traffic until its ready. if you're utilizing kubernetes, the time to create the new pods, do your typical blue-green promotion w/analysis tests etc. is already a decent chunk of time regardless of the underlying application. if you get through it in 90 seconds instead of 60, does that really matter?
