Across jails, pids are not visible. I can't comment on the ability of a user on the root of a linux system being able to see the pids in a LXC, but I bet there is a way. After all they are running on the same kernel. Is the non-visibility of the proceses just a userland trick on linux?

Resource limits for Jails can be done with rctl

It's important to understand, when people talk about cgroups, they do mean not only CPU/memory limits, but also network and disk I/O limits, that freebsd doesn't offer out of the box.
The firewall can match on the jail id for local sockets and apply traffic shaping based on these matches. Hierarchical resource limits on CPU/disk/memory/... can be configured per jail.
