Shipping a VM makes a lot of sense. I wish there were better off-the-shelf tools for packaging up a web application into an easy-to-deploy, self-managing VM, without trying to stuff the typical cloud complexity (e.g. Kubernetes) into a box. I don't understand the issues with using a bigger VM, but I have no reason to doubt you.
