The thing that strikes me is: okay, two "willing developers" - but they need to be actually capable, not just "willing" but "experienced and able" and that lands you at a minimum of $100k per year per engineer. That means this system has a maintenance cost of over $16K per month, if you have to dedicate two engineers full to the maintenance, and of course following the dynamic nature of K8s and all their tooling just to stay in front of all of that.
