A very clever immutable Linux distro, and is the basis for the excellent PiCorePlayer, a favourite of mine to run Squeezebox clients (and/or Lyrion music server) on any Pi
Seems like booting into PiCore could be perfect for this scenario. You could even use some of the A/B try-boot functionality that rpi have introduced into the bootloader over the past year, and basically have a kind of live recovery os. Would love to know if that could be possible.
Been mulling this over for the past couple weeks and then this HN post about PiCore pops-up literally day I was going over that askubuntu post again! I’m taking it as a sign…..
I say this as someone who likes and use TinyCoreLinux and PiCore, there are some mind numbing ways TCL makes immutability work. I chalk this up to Linux and immutability being sometimes in contention with each other. Lots of Linux code make assumptions paths being writable.

After reading https://askubuntu.com/questions/1416758/remote-full-system-b... I’ve been debating whether to try this out on some of my live headless pi’s that I manage remotely, but have been worried to try it without a test system first.

But I don't see a comparable overview.
