Not a MacOS dev, but here's a "workaround":
ln -s ~/Library/Preferences/com.oliverpeate.Bluesnooze.plist ~/Library/Containers/com.oliverpeate.Bluesnooze/Data/Library/Preferences/com.oliverpeate.Bluesnooze.plist

Not sure what is the right way to have Bluesnooze's making the request for its container to have the config mounted

Same here, icon is visible even after running the defaults write command. The value is being set, just ignored by the app:

defaults read com.oliverpeate.Bluesnooze hideIcon
1

@ColinHebert's suggestion didn't work for me
