Over a hundred people have a public k8s homelab repo, and you can see what is popular. It has also become a good source of Helm values, which are indexed as well.
Would I recommend running your homelab on k8s? Only if you are serious about Kubernetes and want to learn more. The people in the k8s homelab community are at the forefront of k8s and often know where things are going.
I personally stopped running Kubernetes at home myself, but I still read up on the community, since being knowledgeable about k8s helps me at work.
