Before anybody thinks that they need something like this at work, I have seen single node HA Prometheus set ups work at one of the largest CDN's in the country for metrics.

Reddit's own Kubernetes infrastructure team uses single node (pod) Promethei as well. [0]

If you look all of the components that are required to run Thanos [1], the operational complexity is incredibly high. I know its a shiny tool, that is super cool but please make sure you have an actual need for some of these before devoting resources to them.
