This entirely.

And even then, I think it took our org a solid year of work from 3 dedicated engineering teams to be comfortably deploying on GKE & EKS.

And still after that investment, we ditched K8s in favor of Nomad.

Kubernetes is kind of like a steamroller where most of us are looking for a hammer.

People joke about Google releasing Kubernetes into the wild to slow down their competition. It's really not that far off from reality though.

Would you say, for someone starting in the same place as OP, that it's better to skip K8s entirely and just go with Nomad?

If you don't need the things that K8s offers, try it and see if it works for you. It's pretty minimal. Most folks only need those features though.
