In each of these containers, I ran "emacs -q -l CONFIG.el" to avoid loading any "init.el" file, and instead load a specific, minimal configuration file for each IDE. Autocompletion worked in all of them.

Yeah, sounds like something in your config is breaking the autocomplete.
I don't use company anymore but instead I use corfu. I am using guix
92b25a0 on a foreign distro, with emacs-eglot@1.8 and emacs-corfu@0.26.
And emacs-pgtk-native-comp@28.1.90-224.03fe258 from the flat channel
d95204c. And autocomplete works fine on my end.

Right, I forgot a do actually have some configuration associated with eglot.

try 

  (setf eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p nil)

That should take care of the minibuffer issue. As I also was quite
annoyed with that.
