If you have to answer such questions then yes, Docker is probably a good solution for them. I find that in my pretty vanilla web development, I am not faced with those questions. Most of my stuff is just Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Nginx and a few not very exciting Python dependencies. (This is in several independent projects, working as a sole developer, since 2014 and let's say ~100.000 users of my SaaS apps.)

In my experience you'll just run into them one day by accident. My last one was actually about differences in postgres drivers talking to sqlalchemy between Debian and Fedora. I agree it's likely a "pick your poison" situation, but these days I prefer defaulting to containers (and investing time upfront) for just about everything to prevent those problems rather than debug them once they happen.

I could tell you were a solo developer before getting to this comment.

A lot of the problems docker solves is as soon as you need to fit out a team with a mix of environments and split ops from dev

I still use it for individual projects because I never plan on maintaining everything forever - makes it easier to grow to a 1+1 team or hand the project to someone else or solicit contributions

Also builds your experience for when you do work in teams

What do you use for the frontend part? I'm using Vue or React + django-drf, but it always feels like it could be much simpler for most SaaS applications. Using Django forms feels too limited, on the other hand.
