I work in my day to day 100% and fully dedicated automating Kubernetes cluster lifecycle, maintaining them, monitoring them and creating tools around it. Kubernetes it's a production-grade container orchestrator, it solves really difficult problems but it brings some challenges though. All of their components work distributed across the cluster, including network plugins, firewall policies, the control plane, etc. So be prepared to understand all of it.
Don't get me wrong, I love Kubernetes and if you want to have some fun go for it, but don't use the HA features as an excuse to do it.
But overall saying "NO" to rsync or ansible to deploy your small project just because it's not fancy enough it sounds to me like "Are you really going to the supermarket by car, when there are helicopters out there?"
