Load balancers and ingresses require third-party implementations (by third-party I mean outside upstream Kubernetes) in order to work. Load balancers are usually implemented by a cloud provider but it's possible to set one up on prem with something like MetalLB. By default, RKE will install an NGINX ingress just for ease of use. https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/ingress-controllers/#default-ingress
In a typical use case, deploying a load balancer with RKE would involve enabling a cloud provider when the cluster is created. https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/cloud-providers/
