These specific ideas? To the best of my knowledge, no.
Other related ideas like Nix/NixOS/Guix are solving some of the same problems outlined in the article in a much more systematic way that are not reliant on any one file system.

It's a catch-22. The biggest gain in using NixOS/Guix are production systems big enough where it matters. And every place that grows big enough where this would be good for the them they usually roll their own ... Because tech-debt doesn't allow them from switching to another OS + they have so much duct-tape that if they'd replace it, would also have to find work for those doing the duct-taping. I think it's not a technical problem at all, nor do I think it's because we lack ideas.
TFA's design avoids this by separating out both a base OS layer and an application runtime layer, both of which have a bounded size.
