I mean yeah, changing DB minor versions probably won't affect anything, perhaps even changing major versions is alright in most cases. To me, the value is in reducing the number of potential issues a developer can have in their environment and making the build and runtime as consistent as possible. And when the solution is so easy to use, I don't see much of a downside to the docker approach. My team switched from Vagrant to docker compose for our development environments and since then we've had much more stability and have wasted much less time tending to them.
