I've done some deep dives on kubernetes (like, heard lots of opinions) and i've heard that the kubernetes control daemon does not scale particularly well

like, Circle CI uses Hashicorp Nomad over k8s

reading your question, it sounds less like "My infra churn is causing problems" and more "my workload has insufficient resources"?
