Yes I think that Kubernetes is too stubborn with regards to how it wants to decouple Pods/Containers from specific Nodes. Many new databases (especially NoSQL ones) already support clustering and rely on being tightly coupled to specific nodes/machines in order to work. I think K8s currently makes this a bit too difficult - They need to improve support/documentation for using host storage for these kinds of clustered DBs. NFS doesn't make sense for storing structured data because it doesn't know what the best way to partition/search your data is going to be (the directory tree structure isn't always what we need) - I think that this can only be solved at the DB layer unfortunately.
