Our infrastructure? One server. One docker-compose.yml file. Zero Kubernetes complexity.

If your business/use case can tolerate manually rebuilding a server and redeploying your stack in case of hardware failure, I don't see why we're even discussing kubernetes.

That's a cool docker compose setup and is definitely competitive with a single node k8s deployment I run for hobby projects (k3s). The simplicity of this docker compose setup is an advantage, but it is missing some useful features compared to k8s:

No Let's Encrypt support for Nginx using Cert Manager.
No git ops support, the deployment shell script is manually run.
No management ui's like Lens or k9s.
Will not scale to multiple machines without changing the technology to k8s or Nomad.

That said, I would be happy to run their setup if I hadn't gone through the pain of learning k8s.
