Is there a good native way now to set up url patterns (domain, sub domain, regex etc) to open in a specified container?

I've been using a non add-on store addon for this.. and no idea why something basic like that would not be in the core or this add-on

I am not sure what you mean by non addon store addon. Containerise is on amo and supports glob and regex patterns.

Have tried that - but the patterns there aren't case insensitive (and no way I could find to make them so); the one that I use is a fork of containerise - search for bifulsushi on bitbucket

…which does not support Firefox sync to sync its (container)settings

I don't see any reason why it couldn't. It's just a pull request away!

Why do we need this?

I'd have every tld on it's own profile and allow creating groups that merge profiles if needed.

I use Containers with Transitions (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containers-wi...)

It's a bit tedious to set it up at first but it's the only way I know of to get the following functionality:

With GMail open in a "google" container, non-google domain links open in non-google containers (configurable which container if any). Google domain links (drive, calendar, maps, etc) open in the google container.

Once setup, this means in your "standard" or non-specified container you can log out of all google services and stop their most explicit tracking of you through simple account cookies being read across the web while you search, etc. No longer when you visit sites that allow sign-in with google will your account name be auto-suggested, because the sites don't have that level of tracking info when you're browsing and searching outside of the google container. Viewing random trash yt videos will no longer sway the recs you get in yt.

The downside is that my google searches, done outside the google gulag, run into captcha prompts b/c I guess google search doesn't expect that much consistent traffic from someone who isn't signed into one of their services.

edit: this also means that you can, for example, containerize gmaps and set it up so that non-google domain links followed out of maps open in a non-google container. clicking a link to a business's website from their gmaps page no longers propagates your google account cookie to their site, etc. it opens in a different container, automatically.
