I wouldn't. I pointed out the lack of live migration as an of example why firecracker can't cut it as the basis of general purpose VM orchestration platform.

"KVM/Zen/etc" are in the dark ages compared to the state of the art of Kubernetes container orchestration.
The reason for that isn't technical; KVM is incredible and full-featured VMs conceivably could be orchestrated with the same fidelity as containers. The reason is business: the cloud behemoths invest only in their serverless business models; thus k8s, firecracker, etc. I contend there is an enormous market for orchestration of more complex workloads that VMs suit well.
