Cloud companies also provide globe-scale cronjobs that work a lot like a Unix cronjob. Arguably less mental overhead than adopting a separate framework.

And such a service provides reliability guarantees.

If I have to do a reliable periodic service, my go-to is a kubernetes cronjob, which is like a baby version of a cloud cronjob. I'd be reluctant to adopt some sort of task queue framework because of the complexity of the mental model plus the complexity of keeping one more thing running reliably. K8s is already running reliably, I might as well use that.
