AFAICT, gke would be #3 (use services) not #1 (don't DIY)

That's right. GKE is awesome. I highly recommend using the GKE service that over running Kubernetes software on AWS or Digital Ocean.
I'm relieved, thanks guys. I really don't see the complexity when deploying to a (managed) k8s cluster. Sure, we'll still have to configure a deployment pipeline, add some scripts to push and deploy the right images etc., but overall, k8s seems really well suited to the task.
k8s is a great complement for docker. Usually any arguments against docker are in a context where you are running it outside of k8s.
