joinedload() is a lot easier to use for sure and yes there are probably some 
very nested/ crazyish cases where joinedload "works" and contains_eager either 
doesnt quite work or is very difficult to make it work.

After reading the different sections (narrative and reference), I wonder
if there is a case where the joinedload() has some advantage over
contains_eager(), or if the former, being "the oldest style of eager
loading in SA ORM" is kept mainly for backward compatibility.

Yes, but in rare cases I exploited its ability of findind a column not
"exposed" in the select, belonging to one of the joined tables, for
example to have a stable sort.

Sorry, note taken.
