The final feature I am waiting for is a way to control browser extensions per container. No extension should be running when I login to my bank or insurance portal.

For such use cases I use different browser profiles. It is a bit tiresome to set up, but afterward it works.
For example, I have a profile for watching videos via Amazon and Netflix, which uses dark mode and some high-resolution extensions, but not tree-style-tabs which I use with my normal browser profile.

For a non-mainstream-feature I thought that rather easy. Open about:profiles, click "create new profile", enter a name, and then use the "Launch profile in new browser" buttons on that page to use that profile.
I have one for work and one for non-work and it's great!

In addition, you might want to add an entry to your system menu or place shortcut somewhere to start a new instance:
/usr/bin/firefox -P my-profile --no-remote

If you want more fine grained control, check out https://github.com/dyne/tinfoil
I actually have some scripts for managing not just profiles but extensions. Hopefully I can get it cleaned up in time to put on Github.

Profiles are cumbersome in Firefox. Chrome has much better support for Profiles.

Funnily enough, I have extensions disabled in incognito mode, so I use the temporary incognito window for banks and other risky stuff.
As my extensions include ublock0, umatrix and cookie autodelete normal tab close behaviour usually eradicates everything.
