You probably don't need #Kubernetes. I just did a calculation, and up to 35 micro services, fargate or cloud run are a much better option... And with much less operations!

For the majority of startups or side projects, an even better option is one single, well architected, modular monolith. You can then split off other services if and when it's needed. But until then, building and running one thing is significantly easier...

This is true. But if you can't build a well architected monolith, you're going to find a distributed microservices setup significantly harder to build and maintain. Yes, each individual component might be simpler but the sum of them all is much more complex.
