Should we also deprecate the direct use of ECM++ in some way,
and encourage people to use other containers at the application level?

We should IMO not deprecate it in the meaning that we are going to stop support it. Considering the amount of user code that probably depends on the Avalon framework we should support it for a long time.
+1. Avalon interfaces are and will be for a long time important pieces of Cocoon, and we have in 2.2 our own implementation, that along with hosting user components is also the hosting infrastructure for other containers.
So although user components may slowly move away from Avalon APIs, the "container of container" will have an increasingly important role.
But we could certainly encourage people to use other containers in our documentation, if we think that our support for that already is good enough (haven't tried it yet).
+1.
