Same limitations. This topic comes up 1-2 times a year. Usually one of a few reasons...

1) Some people don't save their work (not the OP in this case) and then complain when the system reboots...
2) Some people have systems that require controlled reboots (this is where the OP fits in my opinion).
3) Some people are just lazy and don't want to have to do certain tasks (eg, another person I know constantly has 20 tabs open in their web browser and doesn't like recreating them even if their system is performing poorly).

I often tell people... doesn't matter what you use, at one point ALL systems need a reboot (yes, Mac and Linux systems too). Mitigate it and you should be fine. My devops friend for example... doesn't take my advice and then complains when it happens. I rarely lose data to patching (maybe once when I forgot to set up the notify before reboot). I used to run my personal VMs on Windows but having to worry about patching, it made more sense to rebuild the boxes on a linux system... and at one point, I'm going to go to an L1 hypervisor (like XCP-ng or Proxmox).
