We have a hobby web based app that consists of multiple containers. It runs in docker compose. Serves 1000 users right now (runs 24/7). Single VM.
No Kubernetes whatsoever.
I agree with you.

Docker compose is brilliant while your stack remains on a single box, and will scale quite nicely for some time this way for most applications with minimum maintenance overhead.
My personal strategy has always been to start off in docker compose, and break out to a k8s configuration later if I have to start scaling beyond single box.
