The only thing I'd add to the "You don't need to Dockerize everything" section is be careful of dependencies and what the electric power companies call black start capability.

However tempting it might be, don't virtualize all your deep infrastructure like your LDAP and DHCP servers or DNS or whatever as you'll inevitably find yourself after a power failure unable to light up your virtualization system containing your kerberos servers because every single KDC is down or whatever. Its happened...

Most virtualization seems to push for the customer facing "app side" not infrastructure anyway. But its something to keep in mind.
