Which k8s distribution are you running? I've considered running k3s/typhoon in the past, but never had a requirement for more than one host. Plus managing stateful infra on k8s feels like a full-time job.

I tried k3s but wasn't happy with its resource utilisation. I settled on k0s with integrated etcd, and the crun container runtime. Additionally k0s deployments can managed with k0sctl and yaml.
I run a single intel n100 node running Fedora Core. Initially it was a lot of tinkering with IaC / yaml but once I had a working setup, I spend most of the time merging PRs from renovate from my phones GitHub app that keeps the software updated.
Some supporting benchmarks.

If the server is small (<= 4gb of RAM), I would use k3s. For larger servers I would use rke2. Keeping them up to date is pretty easy, just update the os, update rke2/k3s, then restart the cluster.
