k8s is overkill for a lot of homelabs. Using docker compose is a fraction of that complexity

Yes if single node, kinda if 2-3 nodes, no for anything above that IMHO.

There are many reasons to use k8s. Managing multiple nodes is one good one. But more importantly, k8s gives you an api-driven runtime environment. It’s really not comparable to docker compose.
