There's no reason, apart from the kernel. You're doing it right already
well, some libraries like glibc leads also in better reboot
since they are used by nearly any component, but for 99% of
all updates a reboot is a joke since you easily can restart
servcices with nearly zero downtime
systemctl condrestart service1 service2 service3
condrestart since i distribute such commands over the whole
infrsastructure after tests and deployment and not every
installed service is enabled on all hosts
