I think a root container can talk to docker daemon and launch additional containers...with volume mounts of additional parts of file system etc. Not particularly confident about that one though

Unintentional vulnerabilities in Docker and the kernel aside, it can only do that if it has access to the Docker API (usually through a bind mount of the Unix socket). Having access to the Docker API is equivalent to having root on the host.
