While I like LibreElec I really don't like the hassle over moving everything currently running on the Rock64 to containers (I bet it's not possible to take my current Rock64 setup and put it into 1 big container?)
As long as all the stuff you want can be run on the rock64 I don't see why not... you might want to consider a docker-compose solution, or use multiple containers so you can re-purpose stuff - i.e. if you have mariadb in its own container other stuff can use it, etc.
Everything I want running on the Rock64 is already running on it perfectly and very happy with it.
The only thing I am still missing is Kodi, but changing from a currently perfectly running Ubuntu server setup to LibreElec and having to set up everything in containers.... It feels like a bad tradeoff. I like the versatility from a full linux distro and even though I could run everything in dockers it seems like a lot more work and I don't know if it's a great idea security wise.
Still got my fingers crossed someone will port the great work people are doing on the LibreElec builds to regular linux distro's, untill then I'll probably buy an S912 amlogic box to hold me over untill that time (Or maybe I'll just buy another Rock64... I think if I could buy the RockPro64 I probably already would have
)
