I’m in the process of creating a website, but I’m facing some challenges while migrating from Pantheon to a new hosting setup. I’ve been considering Docker as a potential solution, but I’m not sure if it’s the best approach for a smooth migration. Has anyone successfully used Docker for WordPress migrations? Or would you recommend a different method for better performance and scalability? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated…

Its possible as long as you can get the raw files + database from Pantheon.
I belive the tasks would be to create a wordpress+database container, and then override with your current site
Docker can work for WordPress migration, providing consistency and easy deployment, especially with Docker Compose for database and web server separation. However, if you want a simpler approach, using cPanel, a managed WordPress host, or a backup plugin like All-in-One WP Migration might be easier. For better scalability, consider Kubernetes or cloud solutions like AWS Lightsail or DigitalOcean App Platform.
