I use containers for pretty much everything. The use case isn't just for CI, it's for running processes in a sandboxed and controlled/predictable way. Not overlapping data and config.

At which point have language version manager + local dependency installations stopped working for you?

it's not that local dependency installations have "failed" me per se, but the use cases in which it is largely beneficial to describe a "state of the world" textually and have docker bring that to life deterministically and having API for interacting with such environment are really nice
