I am trying to build containers on my really powerful desktop and then export them to VPS provider who would shut off my machine if it takes too much CPU time.

Moving one an system image file is much faster to move than moving a root of a system recursively. It is also far less error prone. Having to maintain premount scripts is inconvenient compared to having LXC do it. I can't use LXD yet because my whole environment is Debian 8.

    Can unprivileged containers start from a loop device?


IMHO you should explain what you're trying to achieve, and how you think using a loop device will help.

I can say that "lxd uses unpriv containers by default, and it also creates a zfs pool on top of file as container storage by default", which satisfies both the "unpriv container" and "loop device" (somewhat) part of your question, but probably not what you're looking for.
