Pretty sure nginx ingress controller is one of the more solid and widely-used pieces. I've had a lot more trouble with cert-manager, but it seems to be in a stable state on my cluster now and anyway similar solutions in the bare-VM world are just as painful (IIRC I gave up trying to get terraform to do the handshake for AWS ACM).

What I can say definitively is that having gone from not doing any infra work to using k8s and then over the past few months trying my hand at a bare-metal setup, just spinning up a Linux box and hand installing deps via apt or snap was far more enjoyable/easy to follow.
Primarily because there was very little obscurity (i.e., config files that automate away a lot of thinking or Dockerfiles/containers doing the same). It also left me feeling more confident about stability because if something isn't working, it's pretty clear what I broke/forgot. Worst "bug" I ran into was a snap server hanging when installing a dependency.
