Not useful on its own but https://sablierapp.dev/ was really useful for me in getting back resources from some of the heavyweight containers I use. For those unfamiliar with it, Sablier can stop containers that go idle and then spin them back up automatically when a request comes in. It requires Traefik, NGINX, or Caddy running always so it could complicate your server but for me I couldn't do without it.

This sounds quite interesting!

I believe this can integrate with various reverse proxies and trigger on-demand?

Right. When a request comes in, Traefik, for one, will hold the connection until the service is back up then forward the request as usual. This works for UIs as well. You'll get a temporary loading page then redirected to the requested UI when the service is up.

So would this work well e.g. with the the *arr stack? Because most of the services wouldn’t even need to run always
-
How would the timed tasks be handled if they're offline
-
It probably would work well with those as long as the startup time was quick (my containers come up almost instantly) and the initiating clients can handle a bit of latency. I didn't notice any hiccups in my use at all.
