I don't think many people are using CentOS caontainers with nspawn... That said, there's a good chance that it works OKish. Note that "machinectl pull-raw" is just a helper to make downloading easy. But if you have images in weird formats, you can download them and place them in /var/lib/machines (with the .raw suffix), and machined/nspawn is happy. It doesn't really matter how the image gets there as long as it gets there, and "machinectl pull-raw" is just one way.
