Not sure I follow: why do this indirectly by killing nspawn?

Why not send this to the container init directly?

Note that if you know the nspawn PID, you can derive the external PID
of the init process easily by reading
/proc/$PID/task/$PID/children. It will only container one PID, and
that's init.
