Kubernetes are amazing at what they do, but only relevant to ~0.1% of the companies in my opinion. It's way too complex and too much work for the rest of the world, and not worth the time invested.
A lot can be accomplished with simple virtual machines and some sort of auto scaling groups (depending on your cloud provider they have different names).
Kubernetes are amazing at unifying your workloads on any clouds though. If you care about portability, you should either consider using kubernetes for everything or using a tool that abstracts your configuration in a cloud-agnostic way. Although I'm a bit biased on this one.

Simple is subjective and dependent on where you're coming from. If you're used to Kubernetes then managing virtual machines seems needlessly time consuming and vice versa.
