Um, no.

To start with, AFAICT the images are built for x86 only.  Sure, given
the Dockerfile I could rebuild it for aarch64 or ppc64le, but even so
Docker supports only a small set of platforms and architectures.  If I
wanted to build on say Linux/ppc64 (big endian) or Solaris/SPARC I'd
be SOL.  And as a matter of fact I _do_ make my ScummVM builds for
Dreamcast on Solaris/SPARC; my T2 has 64 hardware threads and so is
well suited for compiling stuff.

The Docker images are nice (although they would have been ever nicer
were they multi-arch, see
https://blog.docker.com/2017/11/multi-arch-all-the-things/),
but don't make the mistake of thinking they are the be-all and end-all
of building ScummVM...
