It breaks integration with system-wide settings, such as user/group

environments, that is not really an option.

Not necessarily, these can still be applied (and fairly simple).
You actually have to twist more extra knobs if to wanted those weird
things to happen.

Sorry, this is just not true.  You cannot load system libraries such as
NSS modules or cryptographic libraries with a custom glibc because the
system glibc could be newer, and glibc does not provide that kind of
compatibility (only the other way round).

Thanks,
