It really depends on what your needs are and whether your provider's k8s service addresses them. AKS for example does work but, I'm told, is missing some fundamental stuff in regards to security etc. (Caveat: I only know this through others.) OTOH if a service is available and would work for someone's use case, by all means, use the service. I've set up native k8s clusters just as exercises, and it's no picnic–and I didn't need to manage those clusters, later. Just doing build exercises alone was enough to scare me straight.
