In Fedora 27 we released

Now that
https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/373 is fixed, the first update
is available, i.e. you can `rpm-ostree upgrade`.

Having an updated ostree commit stream in sync with the bodhi batches
should help with synchronization issues.
There's a bit more information about the project at
https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config
I and several other people use it as a "daily driver"; as the page
says I think the project is useful for interested technical users, but
there's a whole lot more to do; I just noticed the rpm-ostree plugin
for gnome-software isn't enabled, going to fix that. I'd also really
like to plumb through automatic updates by default.
A big picture question is how much we stay in sync with Workstation
as it exists today; for example I find
it confusing to have applications both via rpm and flatpak, and I think
it'd make sense to thin things down more. At least drop gnome-boxes
by default, and potentially libvirt too.
In this path we'd really be expecting most users to do package layering
for things like that; personally I use `vagrant-libvirt` a lot for example.
But OTOH there's already PRs like:
https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/pull-request/47
which add things.
