Yes, and it's doubly pointless here, because it isn't doing anything that couldn't be done better by the OS's own package manager. Better, probably, because you will get timely security updates.

No, not really. With Docker, packaging is a solved problem, and you also get for free a deployment history which you can roll back and forward at will. You also get introspection and blue/green deployments, and if you really want to you can also setup a cluster of nodes for free where you can run whole application stacks with a one-liner.

There is really no excuse to do things the hard way.
