While building a "swiss army knife container image" might seem like a good idea, there are always more things to add and at some point, such image becomes too big and too hard to maintain.
A better option is to use an image such as infuser. infuser is built around tea CLI which automatically installs any tool that you invoke. Let's say you run curl in a container, but it's not installed. No problem, tea will first install it and then invoke your command:
docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/teaxyz/infuser
...
# curl is not installed...
tea $ curl https://google.com
# installed: ~/.tea/curl.se/ca-certs/v2023.5.30
# installed: ~/.tea/curl.se/v8.2.1
# installed: ~/.tea/openssl.org/v1.1.1u
