The biggest issue I've had with Docker is that Dockerfiles aren't designed to be reproducible, so regressions are practically guaranteed. If there were tooling around pinning versions of Linux distro packages, and maybe a few select PL package managers like Go, Node, Python, Ruby, it would make a huge difference. I tried to do this by hand and finally gave up.

You can stack layers (where you install exactly what you want) and create an image that is deterministic.

Even if you install from repos in the dockerfile, they should have version numbers.
