I disagree with this, but not because kubernetes isn't hard.

I built a K8s system for a startup and it was definitely challenging, but once it was done we had minimal down time, when stuff did go down it self healed, and (most importantly) I was able to teach our juniors very quickly how it worked, what they needed to care about and what was going on in the background that they didn't need to worry about.

A lot of this was simplified by automating away deploys etc.

Using K8s was a small investment that paid off very quickly, and if I were to go to a startup again, I would definitely use it again.
