I personally like keeping my root partition to a minimal and ever since docker came into the picture I keep running into spacing issues. So the allure for me to switch isn't technical but for peace of mind storing images in userspace

Why not simply change the storage path by setting the data root in your configuration?

You could still keep your root partition to a minimal size, just create a larger /var partition.
