I don't see what the problem is with being locked into a "monolithic framework" as long as you can run your own copy of it.

You can take as much time as you like to migrate yourself away from k8s if you don't like it any more (physically migrate your system to your own site; pin the k8s version to prevent API changes; then start changing your code to be less coupled to k8s.)

Whereas, if AWS changes and deprecates a feature, you're on their schedule as to how long you have before your service will break.
