As a certified RHEL engineer I have been using Podman for years already.

To be perfectly honest I do enjoy it for all my personal container use. But at work I still use docker for our developers. There is so far nothing I can offer our developers that can match docker compose in simplicity.

We even use buildah in CI pipelines when we make container images, but specifically for developer end users docker compose is still dominant.

You should be able to use podman with docker compose though (https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/podman-docker-compose)

Should, but there are still edge cases where people use weird edge features of Docker's implementation that don't always work out of the box with Podman (it's a lot better now, though, and most of my compose files are fine either way).

I've tried several times over the last few years and it always messes up somewhere, usually with networking. I stopped trying.
