FWIW, I've had years of reliable service from FreeBSD and ZFS. Linux and 
ZFS for hard use is newer in this house, but so far it has been find.  
But, I'm using TrueNAS Scale and Proxmox, which may make a difference 
over ZFS on Ubuntu or other places.

A common idea in Linux these days is that it is good to reboot 
moderately frequently (say monthly at least).  Maybe they are just 
trying to encourage that?

I usually reboot when the nvidia drivers get updated by apt update and 
various applications start failing because the some part of the loaded 
libraries in the application don't match the version running in X11 or 
Wayland. I reboot my NAS and VM machines much less frequently.

Huh.  Both my NAS and VM rebooted 3 days ago.  I guess their UPS isn't 
working.
