I 100% agree with you, I've been using Consul for four years now to run 100s of services in 1000s of VMs across datacenters distributed globally and not once I saw the need for anything else...
Maybe I just don't have the scale to find service mesh or kubernetes interesting. Nomad however is something I am willing to give a go for stateless workflows that I would usually provision a VM running a single docker container for.
