> I've taken to replacing docker compose files with bash scripts for my personal projects. So far, it's been OK.

I'm sorry but this is just incredibly messy for anything that's not trivial. We have tons of docker-compose services, all instantiated N times and each having their own network, secret, volume, env var, target etc configuration. In my mind it doesn't make sense to replace a 100 line YAML with a gargantuan messy shell script only old graybeards understand.
