I'm glad you liked the article! I hope to write some follow-ups -- this kind of thing has been bugging me for 1 to 2 decades :-)
I think it's mainly the stability. I don't think it should be that hard to serve some static web pages and some output from a Python script. Yet even Google internally had like 10 different solutions that were constantly being deprecated

RE: the CloudLinux-specific python features, I _think_ Namecrane has cloudlinux on all their shared/crate plans

PS BuyVM/Namecrane/Frantech have an active discord with good/active/friendly company participation. Nice little community..
BTW I really enjoyed your article! This topic isn't explored that much these days and was a breath of fresh air
