I find that I have to adjust files that would be immutable quite often for servers. The immutability tends to get in the way of configuring some parts of the system, and having to reboot to apply updates results in downtime.

I’d like to make a counter point to this. I’m an enthusiast who hosts my own servers and has been using Linux for well over a decade exclusively. I personally love having Bazzite on my main desktop, as it always works as expected. Of course, I wouldn’t use immutable on my servers, but I think it’s perfectly fine for a desktop OS. I always have rpm-ostree overlays if/when I need to change something immutable, though I’ve found myself not really needing to do so. I get by with only making changes to my home folder.
Immutable distros just have a great user experience, and don’t ever break on their own. I personally recommend them to everyone for desktop use.
