I feel that Kubernetes has a lot of "upfront" cost that needs to be tackled - containerization, manifests for all the pods you want to set up, potentially setting up the right persistent storage if needed, user access, logging, etc. And this is still if you use a "hosted" solution with Amazon/Google/Microsoft, if you set it up yourself there is a ton more complexity.
Using something you are familiar with, even if it's just a 10-line bash script, a simple virtual private server and the adding an nginx config there, is usually faster than having to orchestrate everything. If you want to invest the time in setting up Kubernetes for all your personal projects, it would probably make sense.
