You really don't need it since podman has pods of containers that communicate with each other. You can export and playback the pods as kubernetes yaml.. but I just use a bash script + an environment file to configure, create and launch pods. What else is docker-compose really doing for you?
Our entire company runs on like ~20 docker-compose files. It's a super elegant way to describe collections of containers without the management overhead of Kubernetes. We've had nothing but good experiences with compose, and lots of headaches with Docker swarm and K8s.
