We do have Fedora CoreOS, which may or may not fit your use case (i.e.
run software in containers, automatic updates, rpm-ostree as the
update mechanism), which can re-provision the root filesystem on first

- https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/download?stream=stable
- https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/storage/#_reconfiguring_the_root_filesystem

This may or may not be an option for you, but figured I'd mention.
