If that's what you were able to find, then I'd say get one and try it. See how it works. You're going to have super intense sun and lots of heat on the roots. For that reason I'd try to have as large of a container as possible to give some buffer for the temps, but worst thing that can happen is your plants get too stressed and die. Then you get to try again! Good luck.

I am not required to work with them. I was enquiring if this is a better option. If, however, the merits of using it are less than its demerits, I will work with the normal ones.

Tomato plants would probably like it since they like to be planted deep.

Keep in mind that tall semi-cylindrical vases with tapered tops/openings are a b*tch to transplant out of. There's no clean way to get a shovel in there down the side under the root ball to kind of lift it out. I would only keep seasonal/one-time plants in this type of container as you might not be able to get root-bound plants out through the narrower opening without yanking hard by the trunk/stem and doing pretty major root trauma.

If it's a tall tube with straight sides top to bottom, that would be easier.

I think an ideal/optimum container should have equal height and diameter. or kind of a cubical if not round. In containers, the roots don't need to go deep. They need volume. Wider mouth is better than narrow. BUT then a lot of times there isn't much choice. You have to use what is available.
