Kubernetes' load balancing, health and performance monitoring, etc. operate at Layer 4. Service Mesh addresses the higher (L5-7) concerns like per-request routing, metrics, encryption, IAM, etc.
Coding these higher-level concerns yourself is laborious and error-prone, so if your application runs on Kubernetes, then service mesh can be a substantial help.
