When i tested MCinabox i noticed it is able to change the location of .minecraft folder itself (equivalent of using --workDir on the original launcher), but not able to use the Game Directory feature of the original launcher.
In my PC setup i personally like to organize in this way: creating a profiles folder under .minecraft and for each profile i point the Game Directory option to a subfolder of profiles. That's allow me to use multiple profiles/modpacks at same time, in contrast to leaving Game Directory blank allowing all profiles to place its files (saves, resource packs, mods) directly under .minecraft, harming any attempt to multi-profile/multi-modpack use.
If you have interest in implement this. it would be very beneficial to multi-profile users.
To demostrante, here is my .minecraft folder. Notice the profiles folder i did myself:
Inside profiles, each folder correspond to a separate profile:
And in the launcher each profile (called "installation" internally i think) have its own dedicated folder:
