Been using k3s in production for nearly four years now and would recommend it to anyone. Super lightweight and easy to deploy. Opinionated about stuff I don't care about while allowing for customization of network stack, backing database, and ingress controller if you want to do it yourselves. Their embedded etcd is way, way easier to set up than a custom etcd distribution.

I have built clusters for clients with k3s too and it has always been a charm. More recently i was able to bring up a Dualstack cluster for a VOIP company that now can basically scale endlessly with gitops on top.

The fact that you can integrate existing Sysadmin Teams because they will understand that a program that runs a service with a binary and a config is all it takes, is worth its weight in gold.

They know their Loadbalancers and haproxies as well as how to provision true raid systems that are not software based which almost makes disk failure go away and maintenance really sheduleable.
