If going that route get it out only for use and pack it away as soon as done with it. Probably better to use a real fuel bottle though.

thats pretty much was my take on it also, and what I did, keeping it in my bag.
The other times I used other smaller containers was really just to have a physically smaller container when I knew I only needed 100 or 150ml.
I have used other containers on trips where I had my real fuel bottle, but had to buy more alcohol for my Trangia that would fit in the fuel bottle.
Oh, I realize I had slight leak issues more when using a non pop bottle combined with it being more horizontal in bikepacking bags and being on rough surfaces with a lot more cap loosening vibrations--so perhaps take that last part into account also and consider a proper fuel bottle with a really good cap system.
