Why not use VMs? Libvirt is scriptable enough for that. And LXC/Incus can be used if you want the shorter starting time.

Ok, that solves like 20% of the problem. How (and where) are you provisioning these VMs? How are you managing what versions of what are installed on them, and is that process reproducible?
None of this is hard, exactly, but you do have to put in the legwork of doing it, and it's mostly only the big players who've done so.
