I'm a big fan of using containers to distribute and run tools. It's an underappreciated use case. I wrote about its benefits (and drawbacks) a few months ago: https://jonathan.bergknoff.com/journal/run-more-stuff-in-doc....

Subuser looks interesting, nice work! I love to see progress in this space.

How does lxd fit into this space - similar to docker it's also based on cgroups and namespaces?

More or less, though LXC (and LXD using the LXC backend) are focused on system containers rather than single services. Basically lightweight VMs with a full init and the usual set of set of system daemons.
