There is a workaround for this, but depends on your app. With clusters I have worked with, the DBA would have to set ram and CPU resource reservations in the server software. You still need to reboot, but you don't run the risk of the OS crashing as often.

MacOS might better manage resources, but the same issue is likely to happen.

At my old job we fumbled testing some things on Apple Silicon because the MySQL configuration we copied over to the M1 Mac minis assumed 32GB of memory available to MySQL on machines with only 8GB of RAM total.
