Ranging somewhat off-topic but being in the hosting business now, I think
your huge limitation is going to be regarding IPv4 addresses. In general,
there are ways around this (ipv6 plus iptables-based nat, effectively
routing between a vm-contained "network" and the external network). I
don't know what we'd charge if a customer asked for something like this,
though. Probably more than $20/month.

I wonder to some extent though what the market is for this. If you are
dealing with multiple services and dependency issues, I suspect you are
going to need a virtual server more powerful than what you can get for
$20/month. Also keep in mind that the complexity has overhead as well.
Docker looks like a nice environment for solving certain kinds of
problems, but it also looks to my eyes as something that would be used on
cheap linux slices mostly as a deployment mechanism, and that if you were
sharing a lot of services, it would seem to my mind to be looking at it as
an alternative to (rather than supplement for) virtualization.

Not yet, I am afraid. I just skimmed the docs now.
Again somewhat off-topic. But would be happy to continue the conversation
off-list. Always interested in learning new stuff. Also questions about
packaging LedgerSMB on something like Docker might be better on the -devel
list.
