Have you tried the simplified, local-first distributions e.g. k3d, kind, etc. to experiment on your machine first?

Job security

because its designed to run on many servers.

docker swarm also runs on many servers yet i've found its easier to deploy and manage. k8s is super complicated in comparison

How does docker swarm coordinate that an container needs to be started 5 times and how does it balance the load?
