IMHO the point for running Kubernetes for personal projects would be to share the same virtual/physical machines between multiple projects while still keeping things manageable. Over the years you easily end up with a pile of these projects, which want to keep running mostly for fun and therefore want to minimize the associated fixed costs. Using containers may help in keeping the herd manageable so that you can, for example, move everything to some other hosting provider.

Precisely. I use Docker for my personal projects whenever possible, because it keeps the host tidy and avoids conflicts. If I want to play with something new, I can just throw it onto an existing server and start playing, rather than deploying a new VM specifically for it. When I get bored, it's a 2 minute job to trash the container.
