If you enable FPI, is there any benefit to also using container tabs? That is, assuming that you aren't using containers to allow you to log in to the same website with different accounts, but rather to keep data from different websites separate?
FPI is intended to stop tracking between domains. Containers are designed for the other use case you just described. You can use them both at the same time if you want to achieve both.

Not quite, it's a different axis. Security tokens in firefox contain the domain of the actual request/resource they are related to (e.g. the domain of an iframe) and a bag of data called originAttributes. Containers are one value in that bag. The top level window domain (1st-party) is added as another value if you enable FPI.
This is a possible work-around, but it adds a lot of complexity to get HTTPS and stuff worked-around. Either the third-party must handle HTTPS for their partners who setup CNAMEs, or the first-party must handle HTTPS and proxy the requests back to the third-party. It’s doable but it will significantly slow things down to the point where even shitty websites would consider it unacceptable.
The third-party can handle HTTPS just for that particular subdomain, using a separate certificate.
Yes, but this would significantly increase complexity.
I like most of what you said and agree with the cause. But why does your own blog load up with an apparently-unironic call to be whitelisted in Adblock? If you don't want to be tracked by other people's ads, why are you helping track people with ads on your own site? The page also loads Google Analytics.
The ads help fund writing and research into technologies that restrict ads without blocking them outright. You choosing to block ads is your choice, but it takes away incentives for researching and writing about the topics you care to read about. You can sign-up for Flattr if you prefer not to see ads and still support writers.

Another plan is to use self-destructing cookies. You can whitelist some domains then, and break much less
You can still be tracked through cache tokens, DNS cache-probing, and methods other than cookies. FPI is so much more than just keeping cookies under control.

That’s genius! Using trackers to research not using trackers.. so why don’t you use more privacy oriented analytics instead of google analytics? Matomo (formerly known as Piwik) seems like a better choice, unless that option is exactly what you’re researching.
I don’t mean to be so snarky. Your comment seems so hypocritical to me, though.

I don't use an adblocker -- I just use Firefox with tracking protection on. I'm okay with ads, just not track-y heavy ads, and Tracking Protection does the trick.
You may want to look into why Tracking Protection doesn't like your ads.
