It almost is, the first change you'd see is understanding that each container is a separate process and thus for it to auto start you'd need to generate systemd service files. podman has an autogenerator for this, so it is 'just' two extra commands on the terminal but something easy to miss when you are starting out.

What would you do for a Docker Compose stack with Podman? For example, a self hosted app where the actual service, Postgres, Redis live?

Docker compose can work with a podman backend, however if you want a more podman native solution the term you should be looking for is quadlet which is basically systemd files that run the containers.
