Being built on standardized container technology. Also support for Windows builds would be nice.

Well, if one of your criteria is to build in docker you should use a docker. I mean if one of my requirement was that program should be written in Python I would write it in Python.

If you need to create Docker or OCI image you can use nixpkgs functions[1][2]

As for Windows, yeah, it's not natively supported, I see there's an issue opened, but no idea when a support would be added.

There's also this[3] not sure if suitable for what you need. My understanding is that it allows building for Windows targets on Linux.
