There is https://www.serf.io/ which is a Hashicorp project as well, but the license doesn't seem as bad as nomad and from what I understand it's the basis for things like nomad and consul. Learned about it in this blog post: https://fly.io/blog/building-clusters-with-serf/
I'm confused. Isn't that what consul originally was?
I've also heard that the fuck-you license change was actually a negotiation tactic for the acquisition

You can use etcd for service discovery...that's how k8s does it, no? As for nomad I never used it much, but did like that you could run things locally and have unified environments. I would recommend Nix but we all know what's going on there, sadly FOSS has been consumed by political infighting as well.

Not that I've found and it would make sense there isn't really. Kubernetes with all it's warts is clear Nomad equivalent and insert random Kubernetes service mesh here. I know neither of them are as nicely opinioned at those two services but there is starting to be plenty of more opinioned Kubernetes deployments.

Could you maybe elaborate on what you consider an opinionated kubernetes deployment? Are there some open source projects you find promising?
k3s is probably most well known as it ships with bunch of preinstall software: https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s so you can just start throwing yaml files at cluster and handling workloads. It's what I use for my homelab.
Paid things I've heard of include OpenStack and SideroLabs. Haven't used personally by SRE coworkers say good things about them.

Opinionated meaning it picks, install, patches your CNI/Ingress/Load Balancer/DNS Server/Metrics Server/Monitoring Setup. k3s is probably most well known as it ships with bunch of preinstall software: https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s so you can just start throwing yaml files at cluster and handling workloads.

Really weird to see "opinionated" used as a good thing.
As SRE who deals with a ton of Kubernetes clusters, I find a ton of needlessly complex clusters because rookies setting up the clusters didn't understand the implications of their actions and grabbed whatever a blog post said was good idea.
