Me too.
These days I usually recommend that any data an app wants to persist be written to an object store or database.
And that any app that needs to write critical data to a disk should be provisioned with config management on bare metal (or pods statically assigned to machines with attached storage if K8s is a must).
This is mostly due to how tough the problem of storage is on K8s, and how much is at risk when it goes south.
