Alpine is pretty nice though using it in containers you are not getting the best part of it: the hardened kernel. I'd say Alpine is a better fit for the host OS where you have a few moving parts.
It will be great for compiled language base images, but even there it might be tricky if you rely on 3rd party packages. Libc compatibility issues are also real. It's great that they are slowing addressing them though.
