Hardware fails? It will start on other node automagically. May be we will need to switch psql instance. What kind of additional cost? Do you ever hit something really awful with k8s on self-hosted servers? What can go wrong except losing node?

So, you have redundancy and failover at the application level. You don't need reliable servers then.

Reliability is with respect to some SLA; it could very well be that one would _like_ to timeout more quickly than can be reasonably expected of cloud infrastructure, but well within the capabilities of hardware itself.
