ECS+Fargate does give you zero maintenance, both in theory and in practise. As someone, who runs k8s at home and manages two clusters at work, I still do recommend our teams to use ECS+Fargate+ALB if they satisfy their requirements for stateless apps and they all love it because it is literaly zero maintenance, unlike you just described what k8s requires.

Sure there are a lot of great feature with k8s which ECS cannot do, but when ECS does satisfy the requirements, it will require less maintenance, no matter what kind of k8s you compare it against to.
