Fcron Is the Best Cron
For use inside containers, a nice Cron is Superchronic:
https://github.com/aptible/supercronic
Beware! It explicitly does not run jobs in an empty environment - it's not a great candidate for system level Cron. But for its intended usecase it is very nice.

Cron + Restricted Pod Security Standard
We use https://github.com/aptible/supercronic for crons if we need to.
- Is there a task scheduling program like "cron" or "at" which can be run by users and doesn't need root to enable, configure or install it for the user?

Fcron Is the Best Cron
I was annoyed by cron/fcron limitations and figured systemd is the way go because of its flexibility and power, but also was annoyed about manually managing tons of unit files. So I wrote a tool with a config that looks kinda like a crontab, but uses systemd (or launchd on mac) behind the scenes: https://github.com/karlicoss/dron#what-does-it-do
E.g. a simplest job definition looks like this
job(every(mins=10), 'ping https://beepb00p.xyz', unit_name='ping-beepb00p') - Systemd.timer, an Alternative to Cron
What are some alternatives?
