So... you have downtime then.
(Also, you should be rebooting regularly to get kernel security fixes).

To get HA, which is what we are talking about.

Yes, high-availability systems are complex. This is why I am saying it's not really feasible for a homelabber, unless we are k8s enthusiasts I think the right approach is to tolerate downtime.

5 seconds of downtime as you change from port N to port N+1 is hardly "downtime" in the traditional sense.

Again, not related to Kubernetes at all, you can do it easier with shellscripts, and HA !== orchestration layer.
