I think you are safe if you run GNUnet as a separate user.  So, in this
case it doesn't add much if you are sandboxing at a host level.

GNUnet services is designed to be run under a system user.  The services
could be accessed by normal users via TCP/UNIX sockets.  When sandboxed,
the sandbox could interfere with who is allowed access to the services.
 If the sandbox permits this, it shouldn't be a problem.

Some services like the VPN, create a TUN device.  I guess this could be
problematic when the sandboxed.
