If you have to ask that question you have seriously missed the point.

chroot jails are a PITA to work with. They also provide practically zero
isolation from one to another. Sure they appear to be in different
filesystem namespaces but any one of them can still run the machine out
of memory which would kill the rest. There have been ways to escape from
chroot jails. You cannot run a different kernel in a chroot jail. You
cannot migrate chroot jails from one machine to another with no
downtown. The list goes on.
