I work at the FreeBSD Foundation. There are a couple points I'd like to make. First, FreeBSD support in Ansible and Salt is very good. There is work to do on K8s, but runj represents a great start and there are a bunch of resources available on how to use FreeBSD for cloud native. Last, I think your final point that "[FreeBSD] should not be the default choice for a production deployment" could be worded better. I gather your meaning is "...for a general purpose enterprise deployment". Assuming that’s what you mean, FreeBSD limitations that make it difficult for general purpose enterprise use is something I have heard and that I am personally involved in trying to improve. To me, that's different from "production deployment". There is a long list of production deployments of FreeBSD at the infrastructure and device layers - routers, VPNs, firewalls, storage systems, hosted security solutions, industrial control systems, CDNs, payment networks, and embedded devices.
