There aren't really too many fruitful uses of Kamailio sans TM.
Very much agree here. There are probably some good examples of having very lightweight load balancers, etc. that might really
need to be stateless, but generally speaking real world applications will want to use
tm.

There aren't really too many fruitful uses of Kamailio sans TM. Most intentions to go fully stateless, while understandable and full of noble intentions, end up being abandoned once it becomes apparent that things like failover aren't possible.
The performance argument for stateless harkens back to a different era in computing and memory. The argument isn't, strictly speaking, entirely meritless in 2024, and one can go down academic rabbit holes re: DoS and such. But as a practical matter, just do
stateful if you're relaying anything anywhere, or engaged in asynchronous complications.
There should be a book: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Stateful"...
