How am I supposed to use BOM in a multi module gradle project?
Do I really need to implementation platform(libs.androidx.compose.bom) in every module that includes a compose dependency?

Short answer: yes.

What we do is we have made a plugin that adds the BOM as a platform dependency and applies the plugin. Then all we need for our nodules would be to add the library dependencies they need.

ugh..and since I'm looking inside the BOM it's all the same 1.8.1 coordinate, only material is different (1.3.2)...huge overkill

If you're using something like Renovate to always stay up-to-date, then I'm not sure if the BOM is technically that important, though. But we still use it for good measure.
