But people mainly occupy the saucer portion right? Like they don’t live in the engines.

Looking at OPs pic, that saucer is very small compared to the container ship.

Oxygen is an issue, but heat generation is also an issue.

Actually the thing they often get wrong in depictions of life support failure is that the ship would get too hot. The vacuum of space insulates the ship.
