That sums it up really well.
I generally tend to try to use containers for everything and only branch out to VMs if it doesn't work or I need more separation.
This is my general recommendation as containers are easier to set up and in my opinion individual software packages are easier to maintain with things like compose. I have limited time for my self hosted instance and that took away a lot of work, especially when updating.
