Can this image be spun up multiple times for use in Kubernetes or Docker Swarm? And if so, is it stateless?

Load balancing would require clustering support, which isn't ready yet.

If you are very careful it may be possible to do a failover setup, if one makes sure to only have one node serving clients at any time. Otherwise you will get split-brain syndrome.
