I wouldn't say that you're unnecessarily scaring yourself at all. Kubernetes is extremely complex. I've been running it for a few months and I'm just starting to get my hands around it. Things will just stop working for what seems like no reason, and there are so many places to investigate you can easily burn most of a day troubleshooting. It's a great system, but it's also relatively new, and most issues aren't well documented. You'll spend a lot of time in github issues or asking for help in the (very active, and often very helpful) community. If you have a valid use case, I wouldn't steer you away from it, but your fears are well founded.
