> To show the other side of the coin: SOCKS proxies are less convenient, as they require you to configure your entire browser (your entire system on macOS) to use it.

It is no big deal. The blog post shows the usage of a pac file which only redirects the local .podman tld to the socks proxy.

It is only maybe an issue if you are using a company issued computer already using a pac file from a GPO. But in that case you can totally decide to dedicate a browser for it and setup the socks proxy only for it. Choices.
