In a high cube container surface mounting in the upper corners makes sense. It's out of direct sightlines.
Would consider using molding itself to alternately hide the wiring. This would involve either routering it out, or by using a more traditional, angled trim to hide it behind. It's still easy to find/modify.
This method would require two visits because I would hide most of the outlet boxes in the upper/lower cabinetry, in dividing walls, etc and some custom cutting of cabinetry would be required to make it work.
This also decreases thermal bridging, or burrowing into insulation, as well as preserve as much usable interior space, too.

Then paint over the visible conduit so it blends/fades into the background..

I love your content from day one. I know you specialize in Industrial projects and research and development if fanastic products but If only you had a crew or team or another channel for laypeople to assist in building and/or modifying their container homes. Or even links to some your colaborators, like the one you did yrs ago with spray foam installation. A Hispanic gentleman from California I believe. Thanks for letting me express and share my ideas. Always a fan. Much success as always!
