Windows Server 1903 is a semi-annual channel release that is a core only install.

I have same question. I need to find a solution about "patch management strategy for windows nodes in a hybrid Kubernetes cluster".

If you're running Semi-annual Channel releases (1803/1903) then you can in-place upgrade between releases.
But otherwise you should plan to redeploy your Windows Server K8s hosts when you require OS upgrades.
