I’ve been running many applications as flatpaks for over a year without issue. Troubleshooting is not too bad either imo.

Flatpak should be ok, I think when it's run inside inaccessible containers it won't be. Are the files sandboxed off from the user running in flatpak?

No, these are bind mounted. Most Linux programs have a standard configuration directory. The application files that don't change would probably be sandboxed so that they can be easily upgraded.
