Is Docker really necessary for this? I've never had any trouble just installing RabbitMQ from the package manager, and running it with only a tiny bit of initial configuration.

Well, if for example your entire infrastructure is in K8s, then yes you kind of need docker.

Redis vs RabbitMQ stateful-set.yaml would be me or less the same, and something like 20 lines of yaml.

I was never a big fan of docker for running some thing on a server, but once you start to go down the K8s path, it finally makes sense.
