On a homeserver I think it's a wash, just pick the thing you like best. You can of course run kube inside proxmox if you want to experiment. I think of k8s as being two distinct things. One, it's a way to run and manage software. Two, it's a way to consume software. There are lots of packages out there for k8s (helm charts, pre-made manifests) and so on. If you want to run eg HA gitlab, the "supported" way to do that is on k8s. There are quite a few complex software stacks now where the simplest practical way to set them up is run them in k8s. Most of the time these big beasty things are not what you want to run for home use.
