Things like automatic revert to known-good snapshot on the production boxes for all but the data files. Things like isolation in a VM for those apps. Of course, that's also work, and getting SELinux working properly might be less work. Everyone wants less work per project to get more projects done, of course, but cutting corners is still cutting corners and one day it will come back to haunt the corner-cutter.

Complete this one with the exam, and you're certified on SELinux on RHEL.
It might be other offerings as well, but I don't know about those.
