Following up on my own post for posterity.

To enable NAT/forwarding, in addition to the customary "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1", I also had to:

1. Set NETFILTER="full" in the CT config
2. Turn off firewalld - the version shipped with RHEL 7 has problems with forwarding (I replaced firewalld with ufw)

The version of firewalld in RHEL 9 can forward traffic, so hopefully that won't be an issue in OVZ 9
