I know this might hit a nerve for some. I agree with the limitations of FreeBSD compared to Linux.
I run a research cluster, and here’s how I built it.
Firewall+DNS= OpenBSD(pf)
File server(NFS) = FreeBSD (ZFS)
Compute nodes = Fedora latest with some optimizations.
Identity provider = CentOS( FreeIPA)
Database server = CentOS(Postgres)
Web servers = CentOS podman(nginx)
FreeBSD for ZFS fileserver has been solid and dependable like nothing I have ever worked with before - it is hard to believe that it is free in cost and open source. I probably would not even think about running FreeBSD for compute nodes because it is not its thing.... almost all research software in the wild are being written with Linux in mind.
