This is exactly my experience.
For years I bemoaned that it doesn't scale down to the scale where most engineers work. I was wrong about that, it didn't scale down to the amount of learning I was willing to do for any one project at the scale I was doing them.
SOOO many times have I had to try to make my tools do something they weren't really capable of doing. And while it feels like a win today it never does tomorrow.
With Kubernetes most of my issues come from other things than that itself. Digital Ocean has a great small scale experience. AWS EKS has been quite a mess in comparison in terms of Ops time required. This made me realize that maybe people are suffering with ineffifcenies from the cloud provider, not Kubernetes itself.
