I used this for a bit a few years ago but eventually needed something that was hard or impossible in k3sup and just went to using the k3s tools directly. My deployment script actually got simpler after removing k3sup.

Also, fun fact, k3sup is pronounced "ketchup" according to the README[0]

The pronunciation ketchup is somewhat unfortunate as a popular backup operator for k8s, k8up, also claims this.

I was reading the description trying to figure out what it actually does. I built remote k3s deployment over ssh into a product I worked on, and there really was very little to it. Shell into the machine, run the installer, set the config - and that last part is going to be unique to your situation anyway. It makes perfect sense that your setup got simpler after removing this.
