You mean instead of them running the code that they are writing they pretend to run the code and the model shows what it thinks would happen?

I don't like that at all. Actually running the code is the single most effective protection we have against coding mistakes, from both humans and machines.

I think it's absolutely worth the complexity and performance overhead of hooking up a real container environment.

Not to mention you can run a useful code execution container in 100MB of RAM on a single CPU (or slice thereof). Simulating that with an LLM takes at least one GPU and 100GB or more of VRAM.
