From limited experience: podman and the associated toolset (buildah, skopeo) show a lot of promise. That said, they are evolving and may currently require administrative care and attention when used in production.
If your environment would benefit from smaller, isolated containerization tools then my two cents would be that it's worth keeping an eye on these as they mature, and perhaps perform early evaluation (bearing in mind that you may not be able to migrate completely, yet).
The good:
- Separation of concerns; individual binaries and tools that do not all have to be deployed in production
- A straightforward migration path to build containers from existing Dockerfiles (via "buildah bud")
- Progressing-and-planned support for a range of important container technology, including rootless and multi-architecture builds
