We are using LXC in a medical device which has hard real time requirements. We use Yocto to build our embedded Linux distribution and have also used the RT_PREEMPT patch. We have had good results and the only issues we have seen were related to drivers that were fixed in upstream kernels. Once we backported, everything runs smoothly. I can't say if LXC/LXD is a good fit for you but it is a good fit for us as it has inherent properties that mitigate some of our cybersecurity risks.
