I'd really love feedback and suggestions by the way! I have a fair amount of experience in maps but I've never just built an entire maps web app from scratch so I'm kind of stumbling through a lot of it, especially the web frontend stuff.

For a full multimodal routing engine including realtime data for transit, you should have a look at OpenTripPlanner version 2 (if you haven't already): https://www.opentripplanner.org/
For a single solution to geocoding and autocompletion, there's Pelias: https://pelias.io/
Pelias is pretty difficult to use with the kind of automated config I'm hoping to have for this project but I might give it another go.
OTP is actually really fantastic and it might be a better choice than valhalla's multimodal especially if it can handle GTFS realtime. Thank you for the reminder that it exists!!!
If you only want routes without multimodal you can use Graphhopper https://www.graphhopper.com/
Or alternatively OSRM? https://github.com/Project-OSRM/

It'd be really great to be able to know what's in the docker black box. It'd be even better to be able to know what the moving parts are for those of us that do self hosting sysadmin style. My VMs are too small for docker... but i'm sure the underlying stack would run without issue.
maps.ellenhp.me has only a IPv4 address and it seems to be hosted on digitalocean, which supports IPv6.
would love to have IPv6 support. It should be on default by now, if there aren't any issues hindering support.
