We've been using k3s' embedded etcd for as long as its existed, and it's great. Setting up the etcd cluster is dramatically simplified; let the first node generate a token and feed it to all the other nodes. Tons of other advantages to k3s; the single-binary deploy process, the built-in networking stack (which you can secure with Wireguard out-of-the-box), built-in ingress controller if you want one.
