“Since you know the tech intimately, you’ve probably got a solid deployment strategy that you can easily repeat and debug.”

That’s not necessarily the case though. Just as easily I can imagine the opposite might be true.

Docker might be useful to automate provisioning new servers if needed, but at least for development "docker compose" is competing with simply keeping backups of VM disk images containing properly installed software. And with many self-inflicted complications and little or no added value Docker isn't competing very well.

If it’s not true, hopefully OP is aware and will recognize how Docker might help in remedying that problem.
