kind is incredible. It's the best option for local multi-node clusters and very fast. No hypervisor needed, only docker.
I think the "best" depends on what you're doing to be honest, (e.g. if you only develop on ubuntu, check out microk8s too! they have some good ideas, eg focusing on straight-forward support for a local registry instead of side-loading) and there's a _lot_ of room to improve kind, but the vote of confidence is still very nice to see :-)
