I assume yes, but just to confirm — does Pants know how to handle caching when there are multiple Pants processes that will have access to the cache? This is applicable for the CI use case — there is a single cache directory

$HOME/.cache/pants

that is shared by multiple builds that happen on the same node (each inside a Docker container with the mounted cache directory) at the same time.

yes, it does. you’ll just want to ensure that the machines have consistent environments (not for correctness: just to get a good hitrate)
