I would rather choose something like xgp-ng as a hypervisor for a home lab environment such a this, instead of a custom one-off kubernetes environment.

Or just a total DIY xen or KVM hypervisor on debian or centos approach. But with considerably more RAM in the host machine than 16GB (like 64-128GB).

the kubernetes sort of makes sense if the purpose is also for the person who owns/operates it to test kubernetes things, learn kubernetes, or use it as a home lab of some larger similar environment that they have elsewhere.

Or just install kubevirt on the existing cluster and manage kvm virtual machines with k8s
