Good article. Some bulletpoints from my experience running an e-commerce shop on GKE - no clustering.
More points obviously - happy to discuss if anyone need input.
i have been manage node on k8s for years. from my experience. it depends based on application types.
is it b2b? employees only? set auto minimum higher on working hours.
is it only crud/db + some http call to another vendor? yeah burstable as this article mention
is it running some heavy duty worker. like sharp (image processing) / report server using puppeteer for example. so its nodejs but underneath it there is something like c++ Library. then autonscale based on metrics is good.

What a load of rubbish. What, pray tell, do you want to replace it with? Bare metal? VPS? You think that is more elastic and cost effective? If you can run stuff on Lambda or similar, fine. But that's a fundamentally platform and set of affordances and constraints, that may or may not fit...
So you need to have proper SRE/DevOps engineers running your platform. How bout you "full stack script kiddies" realise that platform engineering is actually complicated and requires more that just knowing about the latest fashionable bundler!
