When I ran prosody a few years ago, I did so without docker.
I did try snikket in docker though, and it looks like it is still actively maintained.

I rarely use a docker container in production that I didn't write the Dockerfile for. Once you understand how it works, you can write your own and install exactly what you want in the way you want it.
That would probably the best practice. But as another post said, I don't trust myself (and I lack the skills, although that's pretty lame excuse).
Exactly the opposite for me, using official container images is a major time save.
Yeah, they're much better at updating them than I am.
