It may be possible to run enough containerization without needing root. It's worth at least investigating

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-nspawn#Unprivileged_containers

systemd-nspawn supports unprivileged containers, though the containers need to be booted as root.

systemd/systemd#10680 explains that this can be done using machinectl and systemd-machined, but it still requires polkit configuration, and would need to implement a different way to run tasks in the container

Alternatively, we can add a backend using libvirt, along the lines of debvm, and then run tasks in it with something like mitogen
