We do something similar (though Ubuntu not CoreOS). The obvious advantage is you get to leverage all the work you did setting up docker for deployment and you have a development env that much more closely matches production. The downside is it feels like a lot of layers of abstraction. And I haven't quite figured out the right way to hook up e.g. the PyCharm debugger to a python interpreter running in a container that's running inside a VM.
