If you do, what is your setup to run and maintain the containers? Have you experienced any problems that have been show-stoppers?
They seem like an attractive option in some cases, but I’m curious to hear how people use them for general computing.

I set up a docker image for work that contains our prefered IDE and all our toolchains pre-configured. It’s possible flatpack or appimage would have been prefereable but I found setting it up via docker to be really intutitve.
How do you use GUI apps with Docker? Do you have an X server (or equivalent) running on the Docker container that you connect to remotely?
On a local machine using X or XWayland you can pass in the DISPLAY environment variable and X socket. Any program that expects a local X server will just connect to that over a unix socket like normal. It took a little trial and error but there are some guides online.
