Did you already know kubernetes, or did you have to learn it for this setup?

I believe this is the key difference, because it doesn't make sense to learn such a complicated tool for a simple use case.

If you already know it sure, it may make sense. But you are removing a huge initial effort required otherwise.

I learned it for this setup. I do zero devops at work, there's a separate team that handles that (and even then, they're not on kubernetes).

I learned it because it seemed like the right way to do things and fun. Cut myself a few times in the earliest days having no clue, but no regrets.
