Virtually everything of value in Kubernetes isn't Kubernetes -- you have to add it on later, and manage it yourself. Container runtime? -- that's not Kubernetes. Database to store deployment info? -- that's not Kubernetes. Network setup and management? -- that's not Kubernetes. Storage setup and management? -- still not Kubernetes. When you install Kubernetes, you get a container runtime. That's a distribution I guess. Part of this seems like GNU/Linux. The other stuff you're listing isn't solved by MRSK either...

But seems like with mrsk you do not need that other stuff. With Kubernetes you highly likely have to deal with most of that stuff.

You can fairly easily set up a not-very-distributed Kubernetes cluster and you won't need as much stuff.
