There's nothing wrong with using the Docker VMs to build.

I typically self-compile because I don't have an "always-on" Docker
host machine added to my personal XenServer based stack yet, but I
typically always have at least one ARM board running when I'm
developing (the machine I'm testing).  Often I've got a fast
multi-core ARM system with high-speed storage (eg: Zynq Ultrascale+,
BeagleBoard X15) on-line I can use as a build machine.

Just pick whatever works best for you.

Back un the initial mksocfpga days I have created  a custom build-script I 
have been maintaining/updating ever since:
I have tried to keep it as simple as possible  however it needs 
cleaning again .. :-)

Currently I run it on KDENeon 18.04 (Bionic)

It lives in this folder:
https://github.com/the-snowwhite/soc-image-buildscripts/tree/master/SD-Image-Gen
And I have just updated the README.MD

current patches for DExx u-boot are here:
https://github.com/the-snowwhite/soc-image-buildscripts/tree/master/SD-Image-Gen/patches/linux-xilinx-v2018.2/current

current patches for the Cyclone V armhf kernel are here:
https://github.com/the-snowwhite/soc-image-buildscripts/tree/master/SD-Image-Gen/patches/4.9.76-ltsi-rt/current

For Machinekit and HAL related stuff on armhf I personally find it easier 
and faster to use the docker based .deb builders and then either use my 
local reprepro or 
just copy the .debs over and do sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Great work Michael!!!

How are you building U-Boot and the Kernel (or are you using
pre-compiled versions from somewhere)?  I have found the Altera and
Rocket-boards build process to be very "fragile", requiring a lot of
manual intervention to get things to build.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "development environment", but I
typically develop directly on the system (eg: compile Machinekit & HAL
modules on the DE0/DE10), and use an x86 VM running Debian to build
the uSD images (kernel, boot loader, Debian rootfs).
