The question is; is it a rampageous spreader I would regret letting
loose in the garden, or should it be held captive (perhaps in a large
buried pot)?

It is invasive and vigorous. I would be inclined to grow it in a largish
isolated surrounded by concrete raised bed. The old walled garden ~2
acres not far from me was full of the stuff. It took them about three
years to dig it out to the point where it didn't return.
