Installation is easy, but maintenance/upkeep is non-trivial. Kubernetes ecosystem is complex by itself, without having to run non-managed control plane. They have K8s cloud controller manager to manage load balancers and private networking, and driver for attaching persistent volumes. Also, instances go up to 32 vCPU/128 GB of memory, so they are more than enough to run most loads, including the control plane.
