I ran a few sites on Sanity and Netlify and It worked great. I didn't have any opportunities to use it again, but for small sites it still is my go to set up.
I introduced containerized local dev evironments in the dev flow of my previous company. I used Lando to make the docker creation easier. If there is a problem with the containers it is possible to do lando rebuild (resets the containers without the loss of data) and lando destroy (start form scratch).

Totally fair take on Sanity + Netlify. For small projects, that combo does feel like plugging into the future — until you need heavy auth, dynamic content, or client-side chaos. Then it’s: “welp… time to migrate.” Still, it’s hard to beat that initial DX.
As for containerized local dev, shoutout for using Lando — not enough folks give it credit. It’s the “training wheels” Docker deserves. That said, the magic really depends on the team’s comfort level. For some folks, lando rebuild is salvation. For others, even the word “volume” triggers PTSD. 😅
Love hearing how you made it work in production. Proof that with the right setup (and a patient team), even the "dusty" tools still have shine.
You are right the Sanity Netlify combo doesn't work for every application, it is CMS focused.
For me the choice for Lando is more out of laziness. I know how to configure Docker instances. But not everybody does. So a single config and CLI app that takes care of everything makes the threshold lower to fix the container problems. So that is a nice bonus.
There are tools that I think are not worth the time. But there are others that I think don't belong in the list. As you mentioned it is more about how you use them than about a problem with the tool itself.
