I was under the impression that their aggressive pruning of things usually used for workstation tasks would hamper a sane use of it. From what I've gathered they even removed the usual python bins that come with most linux distros these days, as an example.
I don't know what any of that means but I haven't encountered anything that prevents me from using it on my workstation. Sounds like you may have a more advanced usecase.
Universal Blue does things differently from traditional distros and their philosophy is very cloud/container based.
They specifically have the Bluefin variant for workstation and software development use:
