What is "Kepler"?

The proper way would be to build the binaries in their container image
from upstream sources and package that instead. You can then run it
using e.g. systemd-nspawn, for example. Why does it have to run
in a container, by the way?

I think the following guideline applies here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/what-can-be-packaged/#_packages_which_are_not_useful_without_external_code
I'd advise against packaging such a systemd unit.
