If you're using Nix to build containers then you can just do nix-copy-closure and avoid the container hassles altogether. Containers give you an extra networking layer, theoretically, but the way it is implemented is extremely brittle and leaky, so most people don't use it anyway. I assume the same logic applies if you're using some other way of building instead of Nix, too.
