The vendor lock is is not the data in RDS, it's the ops code that sets up and integrates RDS with everything else you do. K8S allows you to use the same code to setup a database, or most anything else, in any cloud host.

My only ops code is a thin wrapper over the secrets manager API, that converts from a secret to something Django orm or sqlalchemy can use to connect.

My pain point is db migrations, from version X to version Y. My bad to pick Django for our internal tooling web app and go with its orm. Fairly confident that I can change that to sqlalchemy easy, if I get the time for it.
