It would be nice to have updates from RedHat on where it's positioning UBI then. Previously it had directly pointed to specific target use-cases, which limit its usefulness for even some pretty simple cases outside that baliwick. Example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1758358#c3
I am not part of the decision-making chain for this (personally, I would have swung bigger!) but I respect the people who are, and as I understand it, the intention is to demonstrate success in those constrained use-cases and grow carefully from there (that's what Scott says in that bug, and I'm sure he's not making it up).
I think probably these "simple outside-the-baliwick" cases are good to send to the centos-questions@redhat.com address, or to bug Scott about specifically with more details of the use case. That bug has "it may be useful for some users" but if you can expand that with several user stories it might be more compelling.
