Short of building my own using this API, does a self-hosted Codesandbox/Stackblitz alternative exist? I love the idea of spinning up web containers within my corporate network so I can prototype applications using internal APIs.

Beware of this (from their enterprise page):

"Licensing is required for production usage of the API in a for-profit setting (feel free to prototype as much as you like without a license). If you're using the API to meet the needs of your customers, prospective customers, and/or employees you need a license to ensure continued access to the API as you scale."

Eric (StackBlitz CEO) here- you can actually self host StackBlitz! You’ll just need our Enterprise Edition (https://stackblitz.com/enterprise) which can be run on any cloud or on-prem. Happy to answer any questions you might have!
For free?
We have a generous free tier on stackblitz.com! Self-hosting does require a paid license though (we have to keep the lights on somehow :)
Gitpod/codeserver exist. They are basically cloud vscode with server sidr containers.
Codeanywhere offers on-prem hosted and air-gapped workspaces supporting devcontainer.json
