It doesn't seem any harder than EKS, and it's mostly cheaper.
I also find some comments on this article about vendor lock-in dubious, because in the end it's a bunch of containers created from Dockerfiles, which you can easily reuse elsewhere.

I've been running containers for many years on Fargate now and they literally never fail or give me any problems. Kubernetes on the other hand, weird issues of complexity all over the place. It can do more than Fargate but do you need it? If not, skip it.
