One of the things that confuses me about this user story is why are your containers doing non-trivial amounts of apt traffic at runtime? Generally the whole point of a container is that you only do this during container build time. I'm not sure I understand how you have gotten into a situation where you have containers that you can't modify but that are self-modifying (by updating apt packages) at runtime.
I was thinking of VPS hosting for the most part, where users will run apt or auto-apt inside their virtual server.
Building containers seems to be mostly harmless, at least no mirror operator has complained so far when I do a few hundred rebuilds for testing and download 500 MB of packages every time.
