Been doing it for years!
That way you can try out new versions without disturbing the current
version..

Probably not a horrible idea.  Though virtualenv is (as far as python goes)
somewhat equivalent to a docker container (not the files it touches, but as
far as installing python modules in a segregated manor).

Just use virtualenv to run buildbot.
Don't run it as root.
If you like (this is what I've done) use an apache (or webserver of your
choice) redirect from some virtualhost (buildbot.whatever.com) to whatever
port you are running buildbot on (as a non-root user).
