Generally even in containerized deployments, you run one container per service/process. You wouldn't run everything you’d run on one box in one container.
I definitely recommend using docker compose or similar even in a one node deployment versus just installing and running things on the host linux system like it’s still 1998. Having a single directory to back up and a single file defining all of the services that can easily be redeployed is very convenient.
What is the performance impact? Going one page into Google results, I found this paper. Is there a better reference?

increases, both Docker and the native host show similar performance, with the difference getting smaller
