Fun fact, Incus is being used as underlying infrastructure for the NorthSec CTF, i.e. in an "as hostile as it can get" environment. If you have close to a hundred teams of hackers on your systems trying to break stuff, I think it speaks for Incus and its capabilities regarding isolation and limits.

In case you are interested, Zabbly has some interesting behind-the-scenes on Youtube (not affiliated).

I would guess <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A1yrLRNIp0> is a good starting point "Looking at the NorthSec infrastructure" from April, 2024

The YT description also points to https://github.com/zabbly/incus

If being used in a CTF counts, then running latest docker with no extra privilege and non-root user on a reasonably up-to-date kernel meets the definition of secure I think. At least for what I have seen, this kind of infrastructure is pretty common in CTF.
