I love nomad and architected a large system that used it for several years. We are finally moving away from it, however, because of its lack of native support for autoscaling. I know there are third party solutions for it, but that doesn't work for us. I suspect a large number of k8s users could use nomad instead with way less overhead.
As you probably know, decisions like changing infrastructure architecture is a team decision and are made with the information available at the time. The nomad autoscaler just wasn't announced/released in time for us to seriously consider it. That coupled with the uncertainty around the future of Fabio made us look elsewhere. We remain staunch supporters of Hashicorp products overall. We will continue to use Terraform, Consul and a little Vault.
