Just wanted to give an update for the list.  I ended up going with
Bacula.  Not the simplest solution, and there wasn't a canned
docker/k8s solution for it.  I did find somebody's stale
implementation and tweaked it a bit, so if anybody needs Docker
images...
https://github.com/rich0/bacula

(documentation on that website isn't entirely up to date.  I might
post my k8s configs.

At least this will eventually let me replace my existing bacula
solution that I've been meaning to migrate to k8s.  That is still
standalone, but I'll migrate that over.  That at least shouldn't be
too hard since I just need to copy/paste the job settings and move my
offline disk storage daemon to the new install.  Almost all the bacula
config is server side which makes that part easier.

BTW, I do appreciate the feedback/etc.  I think I was just hoping that
there would be options other than burp/bacula that handled VSS.  I get
that there is an argument for avoiding VSS - and if I did that then it
would open up quite a few more options.

So, now all I have to do is deal with the Centos 7 EOL since that is
what the docker images I bumped are based on.  Probably shouldn't be
too hard to deal with but I'll save that challenge for another day - I
still have 1.5 yrs...
