I've deploy gvisor, done basic test of firecracker and an honest attempt at production kata.

Firecracker and gvisor are nice systems not horrible to use, gvisor isn't quite the same security level though.

Kata is HARD to make. The technical know how to make that in production is awe inspiring. I wanted to use it but it was so complicated to integrate into a cluster I literally just gave up and mirrored raw VMs into the cluster which was alot easier actually.

Kata also breaks any potential of confidential VM unless you're a virtualization wizard.

You should go check out redhat's confidential container method for a production design overview. Their ARO self hosted system.
