another thing you might want to take a look at - given your requirements and current setup - is jetpack[1]

it basically implements the docker approach using zfs and jails as underlying technology and pretty much replaces (the unstable) solution of unionfs with its layers based on zfs snapshots.

while it seems to be the least mature option discussed in this thread so far, i think its container approach fills a niche that might fit your use case very well.

having said that, i’d like to point out, that florian and myself (the authors of bsdploy) are very open to using saltstack - bsdploy is designed to be modular and we already have experimental support for it [2] and the GPL licence of ansible is turning into a bigger annoyance than expected[3] so we are motivated to continue along that path.

just my two cents,

cheers,

tom
