That's practically 99% of the time really. Even in enterprise scenarios Kubernetes is very, very rarely required.

I've yet to come across a single instance where such rapid scaling happens and stays consistently high.

Most of the time you know well in advance when your resources will be put to the test.

I’m not trying to defend kubernetes complexity or saying it should be used for deployment of all server-side software, but I’d push back on the oft-repeated idea that kubernetes is just solving for scale. It’s a model of deployment that happens to make scaling easy, but the model has many advantages other than scale.
