In my opinion, the final process of moving from VMs to Docker containers could be painful and long-term. You will end with ca. containers a couple of VMs. I’d recommend using some orchestration tool as mentioned earlier kubernetes. But before you start learning kubernetes, you should be familiar with Docker basics.
If your goal is to simplify management of your environment, I’m not sure if Docker will be the right choice for you. Containers are making more simple the deployment process, but I think not the maintenance process.

But this is only my subjective opinion.
