I don't know the details, but I suspect it should be possible to use
both on one install and it also should work to use other container
systems in parallel, too. I seriously doubt that it makes much sense to
use different container systems, with software from different third
party sources, to me this sounds like a waste of resources and a
security nightmare.

You could copy your Xubuntu install from bare metal to a virtual
machine, that runs on the Xubuntu install on bare metal, to test the
container systems on the guest install, that is a copy from the host
install :D.
