With all due respect, you could get these exact same benefits by using Vagrant with a CM. Vagrant removes the need to manually manage the VMs, and the CM will handle the iteration on "system configuration / installation procedures".
It's my opinion that Docker images from Docker Hub are less repeatable than your average VM; as pointed out in the article there's nothing stopping someone from re-using a tag, and the contents of the VM depend entirely upon on what the upstream image creators felt was necessary (which can include things like grabbing config files from the internet in order to run a service).
