Having a container per service level seems like an okay thing to me.

What exactly you mean by limited recharging?
As said earlier, if there is big shared segment on a server then that can be charged to any single container. And in this case moving a task to different container may not fetch anything useful from memory accounting pov.

That is not true. It depends on IO size, memory foot print etc. etc. You can move a task to different container, but it will not be cheap.
