Concourse truly seems like the best CD tool out there, unfortunately, I too don't see a clear path to migrate to concourse without access directly to the worker OS. We have moved heavily to docker-compose, providing a nice parity between local development and cluster deployment. I'm sure I'm missing something here but I don't see a clear way in concourse for docker-compose, using docker natively, or for testing an application packaged inside a docker image, which I think should mean starting a container from that image and testing the interface. Like most, we maintain parity with packer so our platforms hosting workers are already reproducible environments mitigating the need for tasks to run inside containers.

This is already abstracted away by Garden. You're free to use a no-op backend like Houdini instead of a "real" backend.
