I'm really sad that Swarm didn't take off.
I used it extensively at a job for deploying production replicas for developers and full-integration testing (the plan was to eventually deploy prod the same way). It was SO nice to use. If you could use docker-compose, then docker-swarm was a natural next step.
I can't remember the details (it's been a few years), but the biggest hangup I had was the default network "mesh" wasn't stable. But I was able to work around that by using a different implementation (i think it was the network mesh that came out of k8s at the time. Used etcd).
