I think it really depends on how much control you have over what you're deploying. In one school regularly restarting something with a memory leak that you can't fix is the correct solution. On the other hand that's just putting a bandaid on the real issue, and if you can you should just fix the memory leak instead of just covering it up. There's also short vs long term solutions to consider. But saying there's a one size fits all solution is kinda silly.
