I've had similar crises of faith every now and then. I never got into Docker, and every time I read somebody's K8s horror story I get hives. I begrudgingly learned enough about systemd so I wouldn't become a hermit, but I'm not happy about it. I still more or less prefer to do Web things without the SPA-like features.
Some of this is because this is what I know, but some of it is because I'm too dumb to see the benefits of the added complexity. I'm not going to do "WEBSCALE!" things, more than likely, so why not just run a FreeBSD server and, if needed, stand up a jail here and there. Chasing the tech rabbit can be fun, but it is also exhausting.
I feel the same, but docker is actually a net positive in my opinion. You can learn enough of it to be useful in a fairly short period of time, though it does throw up own set of problems that need debugging from time to time.
