Of course zones and jails win a bit there, because they get their own native networking stack on the kernel instead of going through bridges. Not much experience with Solaris zones, but FreeBSD jails and their vnets are amazingly good. They also don't lose much in translation. Say you run an Ubuntu 12.04 with a Debian 13 Docker image. Sure, it works, but it has to translate. Jails have the restriction that a jail can't have a higher version than the host system. So there's (almost) zero translation involved. My home stack is OpenBSD for the gateway/router, several FreeBSD machines (services, DBs, pkg build server, data storage/NAS) and another OpenBSD machine to run OpenBSD VMs via VMD and I haven't looked back since then. It's a stack that works with impeccable perfomance and equally impeccable documentation. Should the internet crumble due to another AWS us-east-1 or another cloudflare fuckup I can at least run my local stuff and feel confident enough to continue making changes to the system just based off the locally available documentation.
