As a suggestion, why not run docker in docker instead? Then you can start your systems serially and finetune network settings, maybe even seed some data etc. A dockerfile based docker on with simple shell script should do. Maybe even a docker exec but that's pushing it. I love k8s but in this case it seems like wrong tool for the job. Tell me uf you'd like some sample code.
