I had a similar experience after a recent job search and started working on a 'kube-lite' that just uses object storage for coordination and normal cloud primitives like auto-scale groups (skiff.pages.dev).
I ended up in a different non-SRE role but if you're interested in working on it, please let me know and I'd love to walk you through it.
