Podman Desktop: A Free OSS Alternative to Docker Desktop
You are probably referring to Sysbox (https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox), which I believe will meet your requirements (systemd, inner containers, security, etc).
Btw, Sysbox is already supported in Docker-Desktop (business tier only), so you can easily do what you want with this instruction:
$ docker run -it --rm -e SYSBOX_SYSCONT_MODE=TRUE nestybox/ubuntu-focal-systemd-docker:latest bash
Disclaimer: I'm Sysbox's co-creator and currently working for Docker.

SELinux is unmanageable; just turn it off if it gets in your way
One project in this space that looked quite promising to me is sysbox[0]. I've used them once for a gitlab runner set-up similar to what is described in their blog[1].
It's currently working great and I have not had any major crashes/incidents for at least the past 8 months.

Jenkins in Docker: Running Docker in a Jenkins container
Today, things are very different. Docker-in-Docker has a more secure and safe approach with rootless containers and freemium tools like sysbox. Tools like sysbox let you run Docker-in-Docker without the -privileged flag and optimizes specific scenarios, like running multiple nodes of a Kubernetes cluster as ordinary containers.

Right now I am going with sysbox rootless containers. https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox

Real-world stories of how we’ve compromised CI/CD pipelines
We’ve been using Sysbox (https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox) for our Buildkite based CI/CD setup, allows docker-in-docker without privileged containers. Paired with careful IAM/STS design we’ve ended up with isolated job containers with their own IAM roles limited to least-privilege.

Individual Docker Desktops vs hosting on a server?
A good alternative to the VM approach is to use Kubernetes + Sysbox (a next-gen "runc", free, open-source).
- Sysbox now works on K8s v1.21

Does running a container with privileged mode turn on allow code to escape into the Host ?
But nowadays there is an option to run such software in containers securely. It's called Sysbox, and it's a new "runc" (the piece of software that creates the containers). I am one of the developers, so I am biased, but I think you'll find it helpful.
