There seem to be two camps: those who think k8s is a godsend, and those who think it's the devil incarnate. We fall into the former. We run Rancher across a couple of bare metal clusters and it's been mostly an amazing experience (ca. 3 years). The only issues we had were with Rancher specific bugs, but those have been resolved and for the most part our infra is pretty autonomous. We do all HA at the application layer, so local NVME as opposed to network storage. This means Patroni, Redis Sentinel/Cluster, etc. But it broadly just works. Maybe we're not big enough to bump into issues, but I couldn't imagine migrating to the labyrinth of vendor lockin masquerading as cloud services. What am I missing? Why do we have such a wildly different experience to others?
