I don't think the authors care about their resumes at this point. There are rational reasons to use a static scheduling regime and a set of conventions around deployment and support services rather than a dynamic scheduler. If it were me, I'd build this with Nomad, but I can imagine not wanting to manage a dynamic scheduler when your workloads are as predictable as theirs are --- you make their case for them when you point out that they just have a "handful of CRUD apps".
