I like it! is there a way to use both virt-manager and virsh with this or do we have to pick one. I'd be keen to migrate my VMs to this compose based system if it was a simple import job.

Thanks! Honest answer: nope. Holos talks to QEMU directly and skips libvirt entirely — that's deliberate (no XML, no daemon, state lives in a single directory per project), but I like the idea of being able to import vm's. I will try to find some time to add that feature.
