I think there might be a mismatch between your definition of "monolith in a container" serverless (which I too find intriguing) and what people are actually promoting which gets called serverless—aka functions. Vercel for example: they literally showcase sticking a wad of code in each api route and go out of their way to tell people not to build with any past monolith-style patterns (Express for Node, Rack/Sinatra or Rails with Ruby, etc.)
So you or I might get excited about streamlined container deployments (does Fly.io count in this world I wonder), but that's not people are talking about when they write their DEV.to tutorials on "serverless". =)
