This is a myth. The 787 has about 60 million miles of wiring in it. It is vastly more complicated than an airliner from the 1940s, and it also much, much safer. Poorly engineered technology fails, not necessarily complex technology

Then don't use Kubernetes or Docker? They aren't mandatory

No this is a common rule in industry in particular.

The more components you add a component into to a defined system (excepted for redundancy purpose), the higher the probability of failure.

This is exactly why Toyota provides tier A car in term of reliabily and majority of European / US car full of failures by adding a lot of useless gadget.
