So, regarding running the Podman Machine in a rootful mode on GHA Ubuntu runner, it is not possible: 

 Extracting compressed file
Image resized.
Machine init complete
Starting machine "podman-machine-default"
Waiting for VM ...
Error: qemu exited unexpectedly with exit code 1, stderr: Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied
qemu-system-x86_64: -accel kvm: failed to initialize kvm: Permission denied

Simply it is VM and does not have nested virtualization allow (my bet).

Workaround could be to set podman on the system to be in a rootful mode.
