I think it's important to have comments like those as Google, who does not use Kubernetes, is exerting a lot of pressure on the industry to adopt it. It is an extremely complicated tool to learn to use well and companies act like there aren't reasonable alternatives.
Those of us who have gone through it are often coming back with war stories saying to use something else. Some of us have invested thousands of man hours into this already and have strong opinions. At the very least, give Nomad a look. It is maybe a tenth of the effort to run for exactly the features most people want and then some.
People need to be made aware that there are options. I have friends at companies that have large teams just dedicated to managing Kubernetes and they still deal with failure frequently or they spend their entire day-to-day tuning etcd.
