Full disclosure: I have only briefly fiddled with unikernels. And in all honesty, I think there could be a good real life application for them. But the biggest problems I see is that even though they have been around for a while, building them is still incredibly complex and time consuming and there isn't a core community behind them and looking at it, it seems like they are starting to suffer from the javascript syndrome - hundreds of single maintainer or micro-communities doing their own thing and putting a sticker("unikernel" in this case) on top. As I said I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to them and I'm hoping someone is addressing these issues.
