I'm using k8s even for my personal 2 node cluster. It's just so convenient to be able to use all the automation tools. I can leave the cluster alone for weeks, and it'll take care of itself, my CI will build new docker containers, tooling will start rolling them out across the cluster, if deployments fail they get rolled back, and I get an email, etc. At some point I was hands-off with the cluster for 6 months and everything kept itself up to date and running just fine.
