I must be boring because I manage plain old (virtual) machines with a load balancer at the edge.
It is easy as pie to manage and is easy to understand and secure.
I build the clustering into relevant services as needed, because what it means to be in a cluster together is highly service specific, so you are deluding yourself by thinking that a generic external clustering framework is anywhere near the answer.
If all you ever seen is Google prescribed order of the world (Google SRE), then of course you would contemplate rewriting K8s instead of throwing it out.
