There are also these two blog posts by elis on setting up tmpfs specifically. Though these posts rather are setup guides, than "talking about the philosophy" of systems design.

You're playing Devils Advocate, and you probaly know it xD
Anyway, I prefer NixOS for it's declarativity, reproducibility and immutability.
