That's sacrificing an awful lot of latency cost for each transcode job though.

Each job sends a provisioning ticket to a thermal printer. 1 business day turnaround, unless we need to order more servers

To make a bit of a strawman of what you are saying even better still would be an unplugged power cable as a turned off machine is (mostly) unhackable.

To be more serious seurity is often in conflict with simplicity, efficiency, usability, and many other good things.

A baseline level of security (and avoidance of insecurities) should be expected everywhere, docker allows many places to easily reach it and is often a good enough tradeoff for many realities.

that escalated quickly.

but I agree.
