All true (I rented a bare metal server myself for my pet projects), but it's still quite tempting.
- scale to zero, or scale to one (no cold starts)
- not having to manage disk space
- not having to manage quite a bit of security (ssh login, fail2ban, opened ports, unprivileged user)
- in some cases, out of the box - or easier - deploy pipeline
Would you feel more or less confortable taking vacations while having a server or a server less platform?
Would you feel more or less confortable undergoing a security assessment while using a server or a server less platform?
I quite agree with what you say but can't deny there are lots of non negligible advantages.

Depends on the SLA of my provider. Most VPS providers have 3+9s these days, then the reliability concern becomes my code, same with serverless. > Would you feel more or less confortable undergoing a security assessment while using a server or a server less platform? It is a common misconception that serverless platforms are inherently more secure. In reality, they just have different security concerns. In my eyes, it takes a practitioner of equivalent skill to properly harden a fleet of servers Vs correctly handle the eccentricities of IAM et al in a large cloud app.
