This has been a major Docker pain point, and not many people know about this trick. I didn't know you could have the variables in the Compose file directly, does that really work?
Our approach so far was to add yet another layer (a script to pass uid/gid to Compose), but if we don't need the script that would be fantastic.
EDIT: Ah, I just saw the bashrc wrinkle you mention. Yeah, that's why we had the script, and it's a damn shame Docker can't do this natively. It has been a major hassle.
