The solution may be "complex and interdependent" but it already exists, and has been used for 35+ years.

Sure, conceptually there may be a better solution to both problems, but it has not been deployed by any GNU/Linux distribution I know.

And I am not sure if dockerizing or building everything statically and hoping a solution will eventually show up one day is the path forward.

Its not,

At least when the distro updates its shared libraries it fixes it for all users, imagine how many rebuilds + time + effort it would take for every docker container that had the same shitty small bug.
