Kubernetes is useful if you have many teams working on things in parallel and you want them to deploy in similar ways to not have to reinvent the same wheel in 5 different ways by 5 different teams. If you don't have multiple teams, you don't need it.

It's also useful if you want your app to update without being down, which even a single team might want to do.

You don't need k8s for that, teams have been doing that for decades before k8s was ever a thing

Sure, but whatever they built themselves to accomplish this is also complicated. I know because I have built such systems (and replaced them by k8s).
