I've been using my company's docker compose script transparently with podman-compose for three months now and I have basically forgotten that I've switched. I actually didn't use docker before this, so I can't comment on what the difference is.

I feel like the podman experience is binary, either it works perfectly or it sucks balls. My suggestion is to give it a try, if it fails, then maybe file a bug report, fail fast and fall back on docker.
