The default seccomp rules that Docker/LXC/cri-o/etc specify have blocked more than 95% of kernel 0day exploits in the past 6 years or so[1], purely by blocking esoteric syscalls and strange flags. There is clear and undeniable evidence that even a very generic seccomp profile does help protect systems running untrusted workloads against kernel bugs.
(As an aside, note that Docker doesn't user user namespaces by default, LXC has been protected against even more exploits. But that's a very different topic.)
