If you use LXD you don't need Podman, the main difference between LXD and Podman is LXD runs System Containers while Podman runs Application containers.

One advantage of having a system container is you can use a package manager to update your applications. With Podman, you have to replace the entire container, with LXD you can just "PATCH" the container. This results in much faster upgrade / lifecycle management.
