Yeah, I prefer setting up docker-compose.yml myself, so I can startup services once, and also do manual testing.
The only thing I would maybe use testcontainers for is to deploy my own service into docker as part of integration test so I can test a more realistic deployment scenario instead of running it locally outside docker.
