> The security problem is being able to talk to the same X server as trusted applications

Use Ctrl+Alt+F<number> to switch into another VT and run a different X server. Run zoom in container there.

I found this a lot more convenient than messing with nested X servers and other types of X11 client isolation. Each time you leave an X server and switch to another VT, the clients perceive it like the monitor being turned on/off.
