Mixed experience. It depends on how you handle changes (see below).

The CI systems are busy, that's clear.  They have changed the setup and
extracted the most variable parts into a separate container, so I think
they have two running in tandem now.  But to be more precise, they did
the 1-container-dev-env about a year ago and I have lost track since.  I
only know that they also used this to "archive" their dev environment
for some regulatory compliance reasons.  At the height of this pattern
they created a version every night and the needed storage space went
through the roof.  We only kept one internal release per week or so.
The situation is more relaxed now.

That was mainly automated.  It's the build servers, network, and storage
space that were aching.

They are (and were) not using Java at all and their environments look
different than the ones that are common for Java, so their problems with
this approach also may be different.  (Still hoping that I didn't answer
the original question in an off-topic way.)
