On my weekly update I notice that I am almost always required to either

Fedora's all or none update system also doesn't make it easy. If I don't
update system then I leave it vulnerable.
How would that be different on any other distribution? It's not all or
none. You can choose which updates you want to get and you don't have
to reboot if you don't want to. Look at the list of updates and decide
if you want to reboot or just restart a couple of applications.
I am setting up a work machine and I have to decide if Fedora is
appropriate for me or not.
Is the tracer plugin faulty or Fedora updates do require restarting
session or system very frequently?
If the update includes a new kernel version, then you will have to
reboot to use it. You can run "dnf updateinfo list security" to see
what packages are marked as security updates. For now you will have to
manually "dnf upgrade <packages>" to update those specific packages, but
there is a feature committed but not released yet that will allow "dnf
upgrade --security".
