The article lists a couple of caveats already, but to me the real hurdle is the lack of a proper alternative to Docker Compose.

Isn't there a separate podman-compose project? Also, I believe you can run much of Docker Compose on top of podman-docker.

I’m dumb. When I wrote the article it was late. Docker-Compose really was a game changer.

Yea Podman compose exists. I’ll add a section about docker compose to it in an update.
