Setting up k8s once solves the problem for all your apps. In contrast, the additional software complexity of async/await is duplicated across all of them.

If your planning to scale up, k8s is likely something you'll want later. Additional complexity in your apps is not.

My point was that it really isn't that much additional complexity. 99.9% of the time, the main difference is that you'll have to write "await". You don't really need to know that there's a state machine hiding beneath.
