At the very least we would've had the build tooling and infrastructure to support containers from the get-go, rather than having to migrate from zips to containers.

Speculative, but had we used containers from the start we would likely have built "fatter" Lambdas running full web servers with an extant web framework (someone else in this thread mentioned Flask - we don't use anything like that, we have one Lambda per... function, and our functions just consume the raw Lambda event).
