Nothing really critical.

Differences from where I'm at

docker doesn't have native systemd integration ("quadlets")
docker needs a daemon running
podman has pods (like kubernetes) which are great for isolation of complex services
you can run podman containers with kubernetes yaml

Oh, and I've found SELinux easier to handle with podman, but that might be just more experience now.
