I ditched Docker and Podman for FreeBSD Jails :) More here: - https://vermaden.w...

Can you run MS SQL Server inside a FreeBSD jail? Or any of the thousands of other ready to run docker containers?

Whatever you gain by running FreeBSD comes at a high cost. And that high cost is keeping FreeBSD jails from taking over.

That's ... a lot of setup. Does FreeBSD have anything similar to containerd?

Check BastilleBSD https://bastillebsd.org/ along with Rocinante - https://bastillebsd.org/rocinante/rocinante/ from here.

How is that any different than running VMs on a linux host?

Because containers are not virtual machines - You can run 1000 FreeBSD Jails on your laprop while you will not be able to run 1000 VMs - Jails are a lot lighter on resources then VMs.

Very distro specific however.
