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.
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:

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.
