The application author can provide an updated container if there's a security problem.
If not you can install the updated version of the affected package within the container.
The value of not having to support 5 different web servers and 5 data bases etc... is far far too great to ignore.
If anything it will likely reduce a lot of issues and bugs.
Since you are dealing with only one stack you can devote your time to make sure it is rock solid.

Yes, but now it's their responsibility to stay on top of updates for the entire stack, and push out updated containers whenever any part of it changes. Whereas in the traditional model staying on top of updates to anything other than the application itself is the responsibility of the user or his/her sysadmin. Not saying containerization of apps isn't a promising concept, just that it does require the app developer to take on a lot of additional responsibility.
