It uses Docker/Podman under the hood, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Are you ssh'ing into ubuntu-box ?
If so you need to enable SSH X-Forwarding.
And according to distrobox make the hostnames match.

I'd love having distrobox (or any sandbox) working to run any systemd-dependent program without tweaking my host to adapt to it.

distrobox is already in galaxy (https://packages.artixlinux.org/packages/galaxy/any/distrobox/)
