One advantage is usage for development. Another advantage is that Beanstalk directly supports Docker as an environment so one could easily check the dev environment by building the image and the same would work in prod.
I usually require it a lot in Beanstalk as customization is hard and sometimes I want other defaults, like yarn and custom npm scripts. This is one of the reasons why Docker is useful in prod as well.
