(Gardeners here have said the roots are very invasive and suggested
I use an
old washing-machine drum if planting out in the garden.)

Has anyone said that the roots are invasive? I thought the washing
machine drum advice was because a fig tree with free root run tends to
produce leaves at the expense of fruit, not because the roots were
particularly invasive.

I wouldn't think the roots were invasive: I've seen enough mature figs
planted against gable-ends without any obvious damage resulting.
