We very successfully run Kubernetes locally, in CI (via kind) and in npe/prod. There are some differences but they have been reduced over time, very strongly recommend this approach to teams for medium+ complexity apps. We basically had Kube in prod, so worked backwards to make everything match that as closely as possible, solving the required problems along the way. docker compose for example is less likely to be used in prod and thus a poor choice.
