Yeah VNET is a pretty advanced feature at this point, hopefully once it's in 11 it will be more approachable to new users without any drawbacks.

jails seem like an advanced feature to me - so much manual configuration. Docker has ruined me by hiding the complexity.

Hah, weird. For me, Docker seems to create complexity. Daemon, API, registry…

I made a tiny tool that spins up a jail with nullfs/unionfs mounts and RCTL resource limits from a single JSON/UCL file: https://github.com/myfreeweb/sandblast

I've found ezjails[0] to be pretty nice for managing jails: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails-ezjail.html

It also has nice ZFS support. Here's a short, well written, howto showing an ezjails+PF+ZFS install/config process: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/30063/

check out the 'iocage' pkg if you want to hit the ground running
