Oh no, don't downgrade your distro. :-)

Docker is your friend for a repeatable and tested Yocto build environment
(In Fedora of course systemd-nspawn and other esoteric choices may exist).

We usually use & recommend easy-build project [1] (except for the CI system
build agents that needed a little bit more, and when I set that up I was
also more accustomed with using phusion/baseimage docker image over standard
Ubuntu).
 
If you find anything lacking, I'm sure it will accept pull requests - just
fork & extend in the meantime.  Honestly, it's quite trivial for anyone to
reproduce such Docker files, but Gianpaolo set up a structure and a project
here.  IMHO, we just need ANY canonical source for a base distro with an
official list of yocto/poky required packages ready to go, so why not use
this one & support it with any needed update?
