Unfortunately it's HN so people are more likely to do everything in bash scripts and say a big "fuck you" to all new hires that would have to learn their custom made mess
Also leaning towards putting it behind a Cloudflare tunnel and having managed Postgres for both k3s and application state.
Counterpoints anyone?
Have been running k3sup provisioned nodes on Hetzner for services and even a Stackgres managed Postgres cluster on another node (yes, it backs up to the cloud). And it's been great. Incredibly low cost and I do not have to think about running out if compute or memory for everything I need for a tiny startup.
