 I'm using whatever storage was provided by default podman install
 (debian sid/bookworm) podman is 4.3.1 How can I reconfigure it to
 different type? I assumed this has to be done in storage.conf but
 this file is not present anywhere at all. 
I have no idea why debian would be
choosing VFS, unless this is an older 
version of debian and did not support rootless overaly.  You could try 
installling fuse-overlayfs and doing another reset, then Podman info 
should show you using overlay with fuse-overlayfs.
 Best regards,
