I only remember too well the pain of having to migrate from a legacy VM to a new one, having to figuring out all the software that was installed over the years. Docket is no magical bullet, but much better than managing VM. In our company we regularly force rebuilds of Dockets to ensure we pick up the latest changes

Using docker just forces you to solve the problem instead of continuing to put it off.
You don't need docker to automate your fresh install process.

There are indeed other ways to manage the fresh install process. Not sure they result in less critical vulnerabilities overall. It is all too easy to never update ancient versions of installations, especially as server maintenance is often handled by a separate team.
