What's a good replacement for Swarm that isn't as complex as Kubernetes? I like the platform abstraction and flexibility of k8s, it's just really heavy for many of my use cases.

I'd advise learning the basics of Kubernetes anyway. Managed offerings like GKE take away all of the operational burden so you can just deploy your app with minimal setup, usually just 1 or a handful of YAML files.

I hear good things about Hashicorp Nomad from people who've used it: https://nomadproject.io/

Especially if you're already using Consul, it should fit the bill perfectly.

I'd checkout HashiCorp's Nomad: https://nomadproject.io/

What are your core use cases? And would you imagine growing into more complex use cases that Kubernetes makes sense for?
