Ever since moving to 8.14.2 I get major docker issues

There is no relationship between DietPi version and Docker version. The whole issue was with Docker software and has nothing to do with DietPi. The only thing happen, DietPi triggered an update of Docker to version 23, where Docker broke some things. Now they fixed it finally. To update Docker, you could run apt upgrade or simply dietpi-update as it will include the same apt package update.
