Short version: if something is tied to a particular kernel, or requires
kernel headers, then most likely it won't work in a container. Don't waste
your time. You'd need either a full VM (e.g KVM) or physical servers
instead.

On another note, there's https://criu.org/Main_Page , which can be used to
create stateful snapshot of containers. Last time I tested, it only works
for a LIMITED use case, but might be enough to replace some BLCR
functionality.
