I agree, so for my side project I thought a lot about what scale would look like if anyone else wants to use the janky accounting system that works for me. Anything below 20,000 unique (but not concurrent) users could easily be handled by a couple of servers and a decent database server. I figured if I get over 50 users I can start thinking about kube and containers.
Until then I think my efforts are best spent making a simple monolith.
