You should maybe look into Kaniko or use some other build tool

Schedule on Least Utilized Node
If you are using the docker socket just for building container images, you might want to look into kaniko. It doesn't use docker to build images. If you use the socket also for starting containers (we are actually doing that in our CI pipelines), you could think about limiting the pods Kubernetes schedules on a node (you can change the default of 110 using the kubelet config file).

Are there tools you can use to improve your docker containers like Docker Slim?
Check out Kaniko for building containers https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko . Only issue is it doesnt support windows containers.

Switching from docker-compose to k3s - what is needed ?
Kubernetes prefers to pull containers from registries. You may be able to work around it by specifying a local image in your Kube manifest. Both https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko and/ or https://www.devspace.sh/ may help.

I reduced the size of my Docker image by 40% – Dockerizing shell scripts
Dive is a great tool for debugging this. I like image reduction work just because it gives me a chance to play with Dive: https://github.com/wagoodman/dive
One easy low hanging fruit I see a LOT for ballooning image sizes is people including the kitchen sink SDK/CLI for their cloud provider (like AWS or GCP), when they really only need 1/100 of that. The full versions of both of these tools are several hundred mb each
