Can someone remind me what tool I use to convert markdown to man pages? Even better, anyone have a good way to embed a man page into my README?

Try pandoc [1]. You can convert back and forth between manpage and Markdown with it.

And also a few other formats. Wanna convert LaTeX to Black Speech? No problem! Use pandoc!

Mandoc, the default manpage formatter on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, macOS, and some Linuxes (as well as web frontends like manpages.debian.org and man.archlinux.org), can convert manpages to Markdown, or to HTML directly: https://mandoc.bsd.lv/man/mandoc.1.html#Markdown_Output
