I'm an infrastructure type and everything you said rings true for me.

Kubernetes and abstractions of its ilk (shipping containers for example) have a place, but every abstraction comes with some form of trade-offs, be that performance or transparency.

Dealing with a node brown-out in kubernetes is much worse than dealing with a network, host or service outage because the troubleshooting steps involved evolve fractally.

That said, obviously there is value- but it's good to critically assess the value instead of just jumping in.
