Ops type here who deals with this around Kafka.
It comes down to how much you use Kubernetes. At my company, just about everything is in Kubernetes except for databases which are hosted by Azure. So having random VMs means we need to get Ansible, SSH Keys and SOC2 compliance annoyance. So the workload effort to get VMs running may be higher than Kubernetes even if you have to put in extra hacks.
