What's best practice to safely play pirated games on Linux? Looking to mitigate potentially malicious executables from wrecking havoc on my system.

Proper permissions would not give the game access to anything it didn't actually need to run. It should be running either as it's own user or wine. You don't need a container. How did you think containers get locked down anyway? They run as a user with very limited access.
