as long as we can convert the OCI to an bootable VM image, i am fine with that. But i also think, there's an size limit

Oh those size limits are pushed plenty by AI images, no worries. I recently had a good laugh when I found a docker image that was 2 - 3 times as big as the OS partition of a lot of our smaller servers.
And our OS image build order would reuse layers better than those.
No doubt, I've regularly encountered ~2TB container images with enough layers to make one weep. SISO, slop in/slop out (sorry).
Time to find out if one can make a dockerbomb image >:-)
I believe in you, 'fallocate' can be put into entrypoint :P This way the size is a surprise, not constant
There are still growing pains, but https://github.com/osbuild/bootc-image-builder exists and is likely to become exactly that in the general case (as it already is for the redhat family).
