I completely agree with you that there is a value in containers but everything has a price and so far I have yet to find project with the scale that does require all this overhead.

I had no problems making / working with / deploying containers on Azure when it was required by client. Since client is the king I do as instructed. For my own business or when I am the one making deployment decisions for a client I get away without containers.
