jails are great, coincidentally I started using them too with Freenas (now Truenas). The only big disadvantage is that the FreeBSD ports are less uptodate than docker (Linux).
Most open source applications are released for Linux and have to be adapted to FreeBSD. So FreeBSD maintainers have to keep up with the ports. Sometimes port maintainers drop-off leaving stale ports until they break.
It is not at all uncommon to be running applications that are several versions behind.
