Hey there, I did something related. At the end I used VNC to connect to the docker image and run the gui for Gazebo and Rviz. If you have a decent computer it should run better than with VMs. Check this repo where I detail the install process and the docker image.

At the end it looked like this:

And all of it was running in a docker image. Hope it helps!

(btw there is some extra things you might not need like the workspace I used, that was for a Udacity Assignment)

EDIT: Indeed, for performance you can check the GUI Docker guide from ROS. Connecting to the X11 is the recommended case, especially since you are on Ubuntu 18 already. I did this VNC solution so I can connect from Windows or Mac for example.
