Almost two years ago it was MUCH easier for me to learn how to deploy on DO-managed Kubernetes than ECS or Fargate.
Probably didn't need it, but whatever, it worked and I had to learn something new anyways.
Actually with k3s it’s pretty dang simple!

Production workload on k3s? It’s what you run on a laptop!

What if you run production on your laptop? :)
Unless you are at a scale that you can employ a full-time Kubernetes team, you probably don't need Kubernetes, and if you insist on using it for production anyway, you absolutely should use one of the many managed offerings (DO is probably cheapest, I have no affiliation with them), or shrinkwrapped product like Tanzu.
Bootstrapping from scratch on bare metal remains non-trivial and an in-place upgrade is an order of magnitude harder.
