I've been on a team of 6-8 running relatively large-scale clusters (2 big ones with lower hundreds of workloads through tens of namespaces/tenants, plus a couple smaller ones). To "keep the Kubernetes clusters running" is an afterthought at most. I mostly agree with your comment.

Do/Did you use some specific method or orchestration product to set it up?

We use GKE but there's nothing stopping most organisations to do the same.
It doesn't bear much weight though, and I've had experience with other toolings largely to the same effect.
I agree with the sibling comment about upgrades - this is IMO where GKE really shines as a cluster upgrade is mostly a button-pressing exercise.
Not OP, but similar workloads, team of 5
We use kops to deplot and manage the clusters. The hardest part is updating, due to the workloads running on it. Other than that, little to no problems with kube itself.
