Instead of taxing successful people additionally with a wealth tax, how about creating new opportunities so there are more wealthy people that pay regular taxes, have employees that pay taxes and so on.
The definition of hard work has nothing to do with a wealth tax. But let's play that game; is it more stressful to lead a company 24/7 and make sure your employees get their paycheck even during bad or turbulent times or simply showing up 9-5 as a dishwasher?
K8s simply has all the hype and no one got fired for running k8s. I was thinking the same as you, k8s is quite complex, has a lot of options and moving parts which we don't need.
Apart from that, it's a lot more stressful (and time consuming) to go to a train station and leave at a train station instead of just driving by car.
The performance of local NVMes is way better, it is more predictable and you don't have to factor in latency, bandwidth, network issues, bottlenecks and more. Redundancy can be achieved with a multi host setup, so even if the host fails the underlying application or database is not impacted.
The one disadvantage I can see is that you can't "scale"/change the underlying disks. The disks you bought when setting up the server are probably there to stay.
