Linux only needs a reboot if you want to update the kernel, normally.

but in that case you can often kexec to restart linux faster, skipping the actual BIOS/UEFI boot.

also, some distros offer live patching of kernel code for $$$

You don’t need to pay money for live patching.
They really just make you pay for having them do it for you.
