But this is a solved problem since... well, at least since the beginning of internet. I managed 1000s of Linux & BSD systems over the past 25 years and I have scripts that do all that since the mid 90s that automate everything. I never install anything manual; if I have to do something new, I first write + test a script to do that remotely. Also, all this 'containerization' is not new; I have been using debootstrap/chroot since around that time as well. I run cleanly separated multiple versions of legacy (it is a bit scary how much time it takes to move something written early 2000s to a modern Linux version) + modern applications without any (hosting/reproducibility) issues since forever (in internet years anyway).

That's great but then you're not doing what the commenter above said and "logging in to a server and tinkering with it"
True; I learned many years ago that that is not a good plan. Although, I too, love it. But I use my X220 and Openpandora at home to satisfy that need. Those setups I could not reproduce if you paid me.
