@Addison you'd be surprised at how well Alpine can work for people who run minimalist setups. See for instance https://drewdevault.com/2021/05/06/Praise-for-Alpine-Linux.html
That said I personally prefer NixOS both for configuration versioning and for easily rebuilding systems.

On FreeBSD, I just use DSBMC for automount.
I know this is an old topic, but I'd like to add that this document/link seems to have some decent info on Alpine. I recently installed it from a Void install due to wanting to migrate my Void install to an encrypted install, needless to say it failed and because of time factors I really needed something that was quick and easy to get up and running with HDD encryption during the install.
Happy to say that, that was 3 weeks ago and I'm still rocking Alpine with Wayland, Pipewire and KDE everthing has just worked without many issues

Alpine Linux it is... — Well, I moved my main machine to Alpine Linux. I installed XFCE for now, to get a better sense of it. Alpine seems to not automount USB drives, which was something that annoyed me to no end with FreeBSD... Maybe there is a way to do it, as I have a stack of backup drives that I need to work on... I botched the XFCE install a little by screwing around with X a bit, so the login screen flashes for a second and disappears... It's still there and I can log in, but I can't...
