So this doesn't work anymore:

Like I understand the benefits of lambdas/serverless. But they aren't sufficient for all use cases. The ability to have an endpoint for a docker container with one command is extremely useful. There already a lot of serverless options on the market too... maybe I'm confused...

I'm in the same boat. I've spent a lot of time getting my company's deployments set-up on Now's Docker offering (which was awesome). I'm not looking for my app to be serverless. And I'm also not looking for a "Majestic Monorepo".
Please keep in mind v1 will be around. We'll compel you to move by thoroughly reaching feature and use-case parity :)
Can't you use now v 1.0 setting the json file now.json to have this among other things:

{"version":1}

NOTE: v1 is fully maintained and supported. We will only announce a deprecation date once we have ensured all our customers workloads are migrated and the tooling is in place for a smooth transition.[0]

Based on that, it seems to me like I will have to migrate to Now 2.0 eventually.

This is looking pretty compelling for serverless docker: https://docs.hyper.sh/hyper/Feature/container/func.html
All of the major clouds now have (or will release soon) the ability to run a Docker container and get an endpoint, with auto-scaling.
