The big missing piece of this article is a sense of at what scale and why should a startup decide to invest in a piece of infrastructure like Kubernetes.

The author mentions other things he considers red flags such as using a different language for backend and frontend development with no additional context.

Is the author talking about a startup in the context of one person who just knows JavaScript working on their own building a prototype? Is he talking about a series B company with 500k MAUs?

Some additional context would improve the article a lot. I think the author should have had a few people read over the article and given feedback before publication.
