However, the Conan community itself does not seem to have defined best practices for lock file handling yet (where to commit or deploy them etc.), also see conan-io/conan#9999.

In that context also variant management via lockfile bundles is a topic, as variants are effectively managed via different lock files for the same Conan project.
