I started with kubernetes and have never looked back. Being able to bring up a network copy, deploy a clustered database, deploy a distributed fs all in 10 minutes (including the install of k3s or k8s) has been a game-changer for me.
You can run monolithic apps with no downtime restarts quite easily with k8s using rollout restart policy which is very useful when applications take minutes to start.
