I think it'd be better to install podman by default.
Then, as mentioned in the comment, the user can disable it to speed up deployment after first shot.
When running the playbook the first time in a freshly built CentOS Stream 8 instance, the deployment failed at task [ensure auto update is running for image], because podman is not installed (i.e systemd file podman-auto-update.timer not available)
