Why is it so hard to hammer a nail with a screwdriver? Because stateful storage isn't the problem the system was developed to solve. The author is conflating what K8s is (a stateless container orchestrator) with what he wants it to be (a full service devops guy). Now, if you simply must have stateful storage, I've had a pretty good time with PVCs pointing to Plain Jane NFS volumes combined with node tainting and performing local replication of high need data on the pods as needed. If your pods are scaling up and down or dying so quickly that this seems untenable, you have other fish to fry.
