We use Kubernetes and spot instances to reduce EC2 billing up to 80%

I second this. Even if swarm isn't officially deprecated my time with had proven that swarm was abandoned for k8s around 2016/2018. Long standing issues have been around for years.

Even trivial things like deploying only a single service from a stack file that contains multiple services isn't possible (even though docker compose has no problems with it).

The current recommended method to restart a service is to set it's scale to 0 then back to whatever number it was previously (because you remember it right?)

I thought it would be as good/polished as docker compose but boy was I wrong.

How about flynn [0] and nomad [1]? Both have been described as easier alternatives to k8s. There's also k3s [2] that caught my attention.
