Prosody is probably your best bet. It's modular, easily configurable and is basically fully compliant with the XMPP specification. For your bridges however, I'd reccomend not going fully into XMPP because there are very little bridges available for it. As for dockerization, apparently they are not currently updating their dockerfiles, so this is another thing to take into account.
Unfortunately the whole point of my system is bridges/transports. I don't even use Matrix itself, I use it as a centralized messenger.
Maybe try Matterbridge
Doesn't matter bridge work by "adding a user" to rooms, vs just your user?
I haven't actually used it, so I wouldn't know
Or Slidge
Promising, would need to supplement GV and Signal, but this gets me halfway there, thanks.
It's distributed through standard package managers, it would be trivial to create a Dockerfile to make your own container.
snikket is prosody's little sister. docker ready
The Prosody docker images are basically https://snikket.org/ which is developed by one of the Prosody developers.
But Ejabberd also has good Docker containers.
