In my experience, if you know what you're looking for, and FreeBSD meets your needs, and you prefer a more classic unix-y setup, then it's great. If you want the cutting edge of everything, it may still work for you, but it's worth investigating to be sure. FreeBSD doesn't always do bleeding-edge stuff without a bit of hand-holding. With ZFS and boot environments, it's great for upgrades, if you're okay with some downtime. You can certainly do high-availability, but again, there's some hand-holding. I much prefer FreeBSD for everything I can use it for. But I don't use Docker, or Kubernetes. I use it as a server OS where the only interface is ssh.
