Anecdotally, about the worst place I've seen Kubernetes used is for CI/CD pipelines where every pipeline gets a fresh cluster. It's truly a special kind of hell--it takes at least 10 minutes to get a cluster up and running (depending on cloud provider), and it causes all kinds of indeterminism and frustration. You wait for a cluster to be spun up, wait for all of the extra services to be added, have one of them fail (completely unrelated to your PR), and have to do the whole thing over again. It's truly the new version of the "compiling" XKCD. If you ever want to see how brittle and bizarre Kubernetes can be, use it in a 100% automated fashion and hope for the best.
