I actually have the exact opposite viewpoint: if you’re managing a platform with multiple teams what you are suggesting is way more of a pain than a standardized, container based workflow. You want a language agnostic test runner that runs generic commands. The reason for this is that you want to be able to quickly skill up engineers and have them able to quickly switch codebases since the interface (like tilt) is the same across all of them.

You give up a bit of snappiness, sure, but you can also keep the very small non container based tooling like linting outside of the container.
