I'm currently experimenting with toolbox [0] on fedora, and it's great. There's not much isolation going on, but if I wanted that, I'd go with a virtual machine (which I do on macOS). It uses basic images so you can create one that have all your tools installed. I prefer installing core production dependencies via the package manager instead of using tools like NVM.

The main benefit is actual containerization of the project dependencies (apart from tools that love to download stuff in $HOME). So I can wipe them and recreate them in seconds. And you can use different distros for different workflows.
