  which is way more complex to setup than k3s

    Perhaps installation and config are not as streamlined as one of the many available k8s setup tools, but the tools themselves are much easier to understand and less broad than the k8s system. Used nomad/consul/fabio at a previous job for running containers, it was very easy to adopt. Way less new concepts as well. It's worth mentioning I later chose GCP managed kubernetes for a small cluster to run at my startup. I had to learn a few new things, but I'm not familiar of any "nomad as a service" offerings, so I went with k8s on Google cloud.

    When was the last time you used it? I found it straightforward and not so many knobs to twist. ACLs and cert management can be a bit of a PITA the first time (especially the former, and it’s something you really want to do before you’re replying on Consul for mission-critical stuff), but that’s about it. Still, those two things are mainly confusing due to poor documentation and not that complicated once you get up to speed, so it’s mainly the first time you do a new setup.
