I don't think so. I think RPM is a tool, a technique that can be used where it makes sense. It is not and should not be the center of the universe. Today in Fedora CoreOS we ship a bit of content that comes directly from the https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config git repository without gavina been pointlessly put into an RPM first.
It removes a step so it makes it easier, but at the same time remove the
existence of a copy of the source code (SRPM) in parallel with the binaries.
There is a reason all Fedora RPMs sources are stored on Fedora
infrastructure instead of automatic downloads from source repositories.
Imagine an entire Fedora built that way and think about the
reproducibility of that build. Maybe another process could replace it,
but going directly to source repositories is a step backwards.
Building an intermediate RPM for content that is *only* intended to be run as a container is just awkward and strange.
