Containers on their own aren't enough to deploy a reliable production system. Even on a small scale. To use them for reals you need a lot of domain knowledge and the support of a large ecosystem like Docker. And even then it's easy to get stuck in a rats nest of brittle tooling.
I don't have anything against containers. I'm just tired the exaggerated "ease of use" claims (eg: I talk about container management being a non-trivial problem and people telling me "just user Kubernetes!").
