Would this work if you install Docker and enable LCOW similarly as described in the following blog post?

    Have you tried:

    docker run --isolation=hyperv --platform=windows microsoft/nanoserver-insider:10.0.17666.1000

    ? that will force all the flags and use a container image matching 17666.
