I don’t know how good they are and have never used any, but there’s tooling for building the ultimate stripped down kernel, unikernels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel)
A quick Google gives me https://nanovms.com/ https://nanovms.com/, https://github.com/solo-io/unik https://github.com/solo-io/unik and https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun.
A disadvantage of such a stripped down system is that debugging such a system can be difficult. For example, if there’s only one process, you can’t open a shell to look around on a misbehaving system.
