Use a volume container mounted against a persistent storage engine on the node and do pod mounting from those containers. Stateful VMs are often a better choice for production imo.
I'm in favor of leveraging ISP dbaas and persistence offerings over trying to home grow something. It just depends on where you are coming from and/or what you are trying to do... K8s alone avoids so much lock in, and as long as whatever storage option (container mount) or dbaas you use is portable, I don't think it's so bad in either case.
