Hello!

1- What is the meaning of experimental and how long till it becomes fully supported?

RHEL will be fully supported with the next Docker Desktop release. This includes Docker Engine x86/aarch64 on RHEL.

2- Is it reliable to use in real life production of RHEL 9 systems?

Yes! Note that Docker Inc does not provide support for using the Docker Engine as a standalone container runtime. It's an open source project supported by the Moby organization and its maintainers.

3- Any security implications can occur while using docker containers in production?

This is a very broad question. As long as you configure and secure your Docker daemon appropriately, there is no reason you couldn't use it to run production containers. No software is immune to security vulnerabilities or misconfiguration.
