i was skeptical about kube too. i landed at a big giant corp that used it in 2020 which was my first professional exposure to it.

over the years i ran it in my "lab" to learn new things to get better for work and clients. it was too much toil for me so i don't run it anymore. i found myself constantly wrenching on shxt to the point i never really enjoyed it.

that being said. i think there's still a use-case for a single-node k3s machine yoinking out the cni/csi parts to reduce complexity, and simply use k3s as a highly efficient scheduler vs podman/docker/nomad which all have various sharp-edges. there was a norway guy who did a talk on single-node cluster in k3s and why it made sense for most people. ill try to find the talk if you're interested.

podman is pretty good, but the rootless container thing i never really needed. certainly there are "risks" with root-op containers, but that's more of a system level matter and if you're simply ingressing/egressing into the cluster it shouldn't be much of an issue as long as you understand the software and respective supply-chain.

these are just my opinions
